"Zhu Wu returned to his school, and he still had classes as usual. There was nothing unusual. The Imperial City Division's security guards had already focused on him."
"From a room rented by the seven victims, many famous calligraphers and precious Four Treasures of the Study were found. They were all wrapped as gifts. It seems that their closest contact was not to curse together."
Zuo Ming', but we gave him a gift together..."
"Master Lin's action is really extraordinary. He opened up the situation in a short period of time. Now I have nothing to worry about!"
Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the energetic students coming and going in Taixue, his eyes a little nostalgic, but when Ding Run came behind him, his words brought him back to reality.
Imperial College has never been a pure ivory tower, or in other words, given the corruption and bribery in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there is no reason why the outside world is so smoky, but in this place where it can also affect the imperial examination and official positions, everything becomes beautiful.
The Taixue dynasty of the Shenzong Dynasty did have a positive significance in rectifying the Taixue ethos and serious examination discipline. As the evaluation at the time said, after this eulogy, "the spirit of scholarly competition has been less frustrated." But in the end,
That happened twenty years ago. The scars have healed and the pain has been forgotten. The lessons of the past have gradually been forgotten. The gentlemen who are sanctimonious on the surface have begun to stretch out their hands again.
Li Yandao: "Wu Daizhi learned the news and didn't let you continue to investigate?"
Ding Run chuckled: "It's not that I won't be allowed to investigate. Wu Daizhi's personality is different from Fan Zhige. If it was just the murder of a Taixue student, he wouldn't have much interest. But when it comes to Taixue fraud,
He will definitely investigate in person and check every detail in detail."
"Anyway, I don't want to get involved. For the sake of the investigation, I am worthy of the position of judge. I am not the prime minister, so what else does it have to do with me?"
"I would also like to thank Young Master Lin for making the arrangements so that Zhao Mingcheng could go find his father, the Censor Zhongcheng. He also reported his suggestions. It was natural for all parties to join in, and we just left..."
Li Yan listened to Ding Run's way of becoming an official and thought of Gongsun Zhao who was now hiding in Wuyou Cave. He couldn't help but secretly sighed: "With the rise of various Confucian theories and the ups and downs of court struggles, Taixue has already
It has become a place for the dissemination of doctrines and competition among various factions, and the ensuing turmoil is indeed not something that the judge can interfere with."
Ding Run thought for a while and said with a sigh: "It seems that the murderer was prepared for both things. He pretended to be 'Zuo Ming'. First of all, it was a brilliant move. If Mr. Lin hadn't been so calm, most officials would have wanted to catch him."
The one who rebelled against the imperial court..."
"If this fake plan is discovered, once the investigation into Taixue's bribery continues, it will inevitably involve many officials. If the investigators have selfish motives, they may go along with the situation and frame it on 'Zuo Ming'. This case
It’s better to let it go.”
"Is such a clever plan really the work of Zhu Wu, an outsider? On the surface, he looks like a weak scholar..."
Li Yandao: "We can't find the relationship between Zhu Wu and the victim yet. He was a lay student. Even if he wanted to be promoted to a lay student, he would be promoted to a lay student first. There is no direct conflict with the seven people who were killed, so I asked Zhao
Students, please go check and find out what is happening to those imperial students who were squeezed out by bribery."
Ding Run clicked his tongue and said, "Look at this, Zhu Wu might be standing up for those people? He was so ruthless. He killed seven of them at once, and all of them had their heads disfigured, cleanly!"
Li Yan said: "There may be something fishy in this, but no matter what, if you are poor and have no choice but to seek frugality, and if you are humble, you may as well just be diligent. Everyone is born with unfair congenital conditions. If hard work cannot bring about fairness, then it is inevitable that he will be born with unfair conditions."
A terrible disaster."
Ding Run nodded: "Isn't that so? These deceased people all came from wealthy families and were naturally stronger than others. In order to get into the upper house as soon as possible, they still resorted to such means to block the way of those poor people. Then
When others are desperate and have no choice but to come to see you with a knife, don’t regret the sins you have done before, it is really a good death!”
Li Yan shook his head slightly: "When a man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps. You can seek revenge, but it is not a solution to the problem after all. This time the Imperial Academy accepts bribes, I am afraid that many innocent students will be affected."
Ding Run said: "That's not the case. As long as you don't give Mr. a gift, how can you still slander him out of thin air?"
Li Yan said: "That's not the case, but the imperial edicts of the Shenzong Dynasty were very involved. There were dozens of people who sat on the sticks to organize the management, and there were countless people who were removed without reason." All of them were bribes, but the nature was serious.
Are not the same……"
"Zhao Mingcheng is the son of the imperial censor Zhongcheng. He has a high reputation. No gentleman would dare to suggest that he give gifts. The situation is different for those children from poor families. If the gentleman accepts gifts from others but does not give them, won't he be treated differently?"
"If they gave it as a gift, it would be a bribe. But they were completely forced by the pressure of the environment and did not dare to offend their husband. They frugally bought gifts and gave them away. In the end, they were expelled from Imperial College. Those rich children then had other ways to advance.
, the fate of these people will be very miserable.”
Ding Run understood and showed a helpless expression: "So that's the case, but when those students paid bribes, did they want to take a shortcut, or were they forced to do so because of others' bribes? How to distinguish? If the net is opened at that time,
I’m sure everyone has their own reasons, so we can’t go on with it.”
Li Yan nodded: "So Yushitai will definitely punish him severely. He will hit him with one stroke. The rich and powerful are more tolerant of mistakes. There are other ways to go, so don't worry about him. What I was thinking about just now is the children from poor families.
…”
Ding Run shook his big head: "In this kind of thing, you can only admit that you are unlucky, there is nothing you can do!"
After Li Yan was silent for a moment, he changed the subject: "If I want to rent a house in the capital, Judge Ding, can you help me?"
The responsibility of the judge is to take prison litigation and punishment as a living thing, and to take household registration and renting taxes as a familiar thing. The former is often thankless for his efforts, while the latter is actually the one who makes the most of the money. Seeing how Ding Run is getting so rich, you know that he has no
Missing it, a smile suddenly emerged: "Of course, which piece of land does Mr. Lin want to rent? As long as it doesn't involve Mr. Wang Sun, I can help you get it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yan said: "I haven't decided which piece of land specifically yet, but I would like to ask Judge Ding for help. If I want to build an academy, where is the most suitable place?"
Ding Run was stunned for a moment, with a look of shock on his face: "Master Lin's intention is to take in those imperial students who may be expelled in the future and let them go to your academy?"
Li Yan was speechless: "This is the highest university in the world, Taixue. Even if I set up an academy, how could I possibly make Taixue students willing to study there? In other words, I am planning to recruit some Taixue students to give lectures to young children, so that they can have a peaceful life before the imperial examination.
It’s just a place.”
Ding Run was even more moved, and solemnly clasped his fists: "Others are investigating the case, that is, catching the murderer, but Mr. Lin thought of the innocent students who were implicated after the case. His benevolence and mind are really admirable."
Li Yan explained: "Judge Ding thought of me too well. In fact, he had his own ideas, and he just happened to catch up with this case, so he made a decision."
Ding Run didn't believe it at all. He felt that he had gained so much oil and water and it was time to accumulate good deeds. He patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will take care of this matter. I promise to choose a good place for you... Or just simply
How about going to the mountains outside Bianjing? I heard that all the big academies are in the mountains, and I have a way to take care of them!"
Li Yan knew that most of the academies in the Northern Song Dynasty were really located in scenic spots in the mountains and forests.
This is actually influenced by the Buddhist Zen forest system. In order to escape from the secular world and devote oneself to practice, Buddhism usually chooses secluded and beautiful mountains and forests to build temples. The Buddhist Zen forest integrates sutra collection, lectures and study.
It has had a significant impact on college teaching.
The lecture system of the academy is based on the Buddhist teaching method. The lecture notes and quotations of the academy teaching are also derived from the Buddhist Zen forest system. To put it bluntly, the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in the Northern Song Dynasty merged and each had their own characteristics.
In many places where we draw lessons from each other, we can see the shadow of each other.
But Li Yan has no foundation now, so he went to open an academy in the deep mountains and old forests. Naturally, he had to take advantage of the location of Bianjing where people from all over the world gathered to try it here first, so he declined politely: "It is inconvenient to have a small academy in the mountains, so why not
In the outer city of Bianjing, the rent in the inner city is too high and I can't afford it."
Ding Run thought for a while and said: "Master Lu is also choosing a martial arts school these days, why can't we put them together?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "This is a good idea."
After all, the Lin family is not a mansion, and the training ground is not big, so it seems a bit suffocating when the number of people is large. Lu Junyi suggested a few days ago that he might just open a martial arts gym, and the brothers could lively and practice martial arts together.
Li Yan did not object to this. Lu Junyi and his entourage began to look for a place in Beijing, and Ding Run also said: "I happened to see Lu Shaolang opposite the Yuquan Gym a few days ago and selected the location. It is really good there. Mr. Lin might as well
Go and have a look?"
Li Yanqi asked: "How could they think of opening it opposite the Yuquan Gym?"
Ding Run said in a low voice: "This is not to steal business, but to help share the pressure. The Imperial City Division has recently focused on the Yuquan Gym, hoping to use the popularity of Coach Zhou to search for the whereabouts of 'Zuo Ming'. President Zhou
The instructor couldn't bear the harassment, so Lu Shaolang chose to open a martial arts gym opposite, which is really commendable!"
Li Yan knew that Lu Junyi was very reckless and very loyal. Hearing this, he suddenly said: "Okay, when things here come to an end, I will go to the opposite of the Yuquan Gym."
Ding Run looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he suggested again: "Actually, that Gao Ti Dian is deeply trusted by the officials, but his moral character is not worthy of his qualifications and he is in urgent need of reinforcements. Mr. Lin's ability to seize the opportunity to apprehend the murderer,
It is suitable for the Imperial City Division. If you can have such an acquaintance in the Imperial City Division, it will be very beneficial to your future development in Beijing, so you might as well make good use of him!"
Li Yan knew that Ding Run had good intentions, but Lin Chong always felt that it was quite magical to use Gao Xiu's power to develop. But when he thought that the world was indeed magical, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay!"
