Qi Yu was very sure that he had never seen the child in front of him before.
Since we don't know each other, how can we have any personal grudges?
It doesn’t make sense!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu smiled and asked, "Little friend, I wonder where Governor Qi offended you, causing you to hate him so much?"
Guo Chunhai suddenly blushed and said with a hint of annoyance: "Senior brother, do you know that that guy gave me this nickname?"
What what what what?
I gave you your name?
Suddenly!
Qi Yu's mind flashed, and an old incident came to mind.
I still remember that when I just took office as the governor of Qiongzhou, I tried a strange case full of gossip.
The case was that three old men, Gao, Sun, and Chen, visited the same prostitute in the same place at the same time. The three of them screamed and cheered, and worked together to stage a physical relay race.
Who would have thought that the prostitute would become pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby boy. The three families were so happy that they all wanted to have the child for themselves. However, they were punished because they could not tell who was the biological father.
Court.
When he was sentencing, he cleverly took the head of the character 'Gao', the son of the character 'Sun' and the ear of the character 'Chen', and finally formed a surname of 'Guo' containing elements of the three people's surnames. In addition, Chun Hai and his wife
The word also has a special meaning, which can be broken down into "three people a day, each person a little."
Is it possible to say that the child in front of me is that child?
It looks like it’s probably true!
After finding out his background, Qi Yu couldn't help but chuckle to himself: Ape excrement always hit him on the head inadvertently, and he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
Guo Chunhai was surprised when he saw his eyes were blurred and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Qi Yu gradually came to his senses, and after coughing dryly, he returned to normal, seemingly unaware of anything.
Seeing this, Guo Chunhai had no choice but to give a rough explanation of the origin of his name in order to clear up any doubts.
"In the past, I didn't realize there was anything wrong with this name. Later, as I read more and more, I gradually realized the hidden meaning. Alas, it's really harmful and makes people laugh!"
"Indecent? Uh..."
Qi Yu laughed and said with a smile: "My little friend has read poetry and books, don't you hear that the common is the most elegant, and the simplest is the most true? Think of the first general of Southern Qi, Zhang Gou'er. Although his name is cheap, he is capable.
He is very powerful, and the world has not looked down upon him because of his inelegant name. On the contrary, his famous name has lasted for a long time, and he is still praised by the world today. You should not be entangled in the elegance and vulgarity of his name!
"
"Zhang Gou'er...yes, his name is even meaner than mine."
"hehe……"
After a lot of counseling, Guo Chunhai finally let go of the entanglement and stopped talking about his name.
When your mood improves, you will naturally have more topics to talk about.
Under Qi Yu's deliberate encouragement and guidance, Guo Chunhai completely put aside his grudge and began to describe his motives for printing tabloids and what happened.
There are two main motivations.
First, he had a desire for revenge because he was dissatisfied with Qi Yu. Since he could grab his pigtails, he naturally had to criticize him. Otherwise, how could he resolve the hatred in his heart?
Second, he felt that the demolished households were really pitiful. He stood up decisively and bravely in accordance with the sage's instructions. While raising his voice, he also criticized the current ills.
Qi Yu said nothing, just listened quietly.
He carefully discovered that although this child was a little conceited, he had a sincere enthusiasm that even adults could not match, which was commendable.
As for what happened, there are some little stories in it.
According to Guo Chunhai, after the demolition incident occurred, he was so angry that he directly approached the messengers of Qiongzhou Daily and asked them to write an article and publicly report the matter.
However, the messengers were all afraid of offending the officials, and no one dared to nod in agreement. In fact, not only them, but also the traditional literati were silent, and no one dared to write a word or say a word.
As a last resort, this Guo prodigy personally approached the editor-in-chief Xiong Da and wanted to use an anonymous moral article to denounce Mr. Qi for his negligence.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Da flatly refused without even thinking about it.
If I dare to publish an article that denounces Mr. Qi, do I not want to be fooled?
The bear grinded his teeth. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had to turn down the huge reward.
In the end, Guo Chunhai failed to find a feasible way to express his demands.
Later, a clever servant reminded him that why not spend money to hire private engraving artists and publish it in the form of rubbings of tabloids?
What a great idea!
His family was wealthy and he was not short of money. With the generous reward, he was really able to help.
After the incident, his grandson, Gao, Chen, and third father were all frightened to death. They hurriedly wiped their son's butt and lied, trying their best to cover up the matter.
His father surnamed Chen immediately started to shift the blame and directly spread rumors that this tabloid was published privately by Qiongzhou Daily and had nothing to do with anyone else, and so on.
Unexpectedly, the matter failed to be covered up in the end, and the attentive Luo Yuan followed the clues to find out what happened.
This is roughly what happened.
After listening, Qi Yu couldn't help but secretly lamented: Although the messengers and literati have a lot of integrity, their courage is limited to criticizing ordinary people. Once they rise to the level of officials, they will give in.
On the contrary, this newly born calf is even more courageous and truly unafraid of the power of a tiger.
give a like!
Qi Yu smiled happily and said with deep meaning: "Let's do this. If you can get the status of a student in the imperial examination next year, then I will ask Qiongzhou Daily to open a column for you to 'point out the current abuses'. By then, what do you want to write?
Just write whatever you want, and you can scold whoever you want, and I can guarantee that no one can stop you."
Since the new imperial examination policy officially abolished the age limit, in theory, Guo Chunhai could obtain the status of a scholar through the child examination and the academy examination.
Of course, the premise is that he must have the real talent and practical knowledge to overcome all obstacles, otherwise, everything is nonsense.
Hearing this, Guo Chunhai pursed his lips and said with a strange look on his face: "Brother, who are you and where do you get this kind of right?"
Qi Yu stroked his beard and smiled, and replied: "To tell you the truth, it's just Qi Yu!"
"what are you?"
"Not bad! Is it really me?"
Guo Chunhai suddenly realized, and after looking at him for a few times, he asked: "I said, you are not angry at all when I scold you like that?"
"Angry? What is there to be angry about?" Qi Yu patted his small shoulder and said with encouragement: "You stand up for the people and speak out. I am grateful to you before it is too late, so how can I be angry with you?
?”
Guo Chunhai's anger subsided after hearing this, and he thought to himself: This person doesn't seem to be as annoying as he imagined. Although he is a little confused, he can still distinguish right from wrong.
This is what he thought in his heart, but he still refused to admit defeat and said: "Your oversight can be corrected before it is too late. If you know the mistake and can correct it, it will be over. However, how can you apologize for the blasphemy of my name?"
What? You still want me to apologize?
Qi Yu chuckled and took the initiative to walk up the steps and said, "Otherwise, I will follow the meaning in your article and 'cut off the hair and replace the head' as self-punishment. What do you think?"
"Oh? Is this true?"
"It's a joke. I am a high-ranking official in the border area. How can I not keep my word if I make a fool of myself with my words?"
"Well, since you took the initiative to admit your mistake, I'll let you go."
"Thank you Guo Xiaoyou Haihan."
Guo Chunhai chuckled when he heard this, like a rooster that had won a fight, not to mention how happy he was.
