Some light poured in from the window pane, illuminating one area. There was a letter from home placed in front of Cui Zhaoquan. It was unsigned and the outer cover was blank. However, because Su Ziji had explained it just now, he knew that this was a letter left by Shao Sisen to his family.
letter.
Cui Zhaoquan was a little dazed at this time, with no expression on his face. He lowered his head and took out the letter, unfolded it, and found that in addition to the letter, there was also a condolence article.
I browsed through it carelessly. It was just a letter. I read it in a hurry. They were just some instructions from Shao Sisen to his family. These were just his last words. They were sincere. It can be seen that Shao Sisen must have had a lot of reluctance to leave his family before he died.
"The letters home are indeed deplorable, and Shao Sisen deserves sympathy, but which person who died at sea does not deserve sympathy?
"In the hearts of the people of Dazheng, only when you die and rest in peace can your soul rest in peace."
"But sailing on the sea often has a long journey and is always dangerous. If you are not careful, you may contract an epidemic. Making extra exceptions for the sake of the dead requires taking risks."
"This book alone is not enough to impress me."
"But I have to say that if Su Ziji bows his head to his friends, it's not like I can't be extra accommodating."
It is said that Su Ziji used this letter to impress himself so that he could be more accommodating and transport Shao Sisen's body back. Based on Cui Zhaoquan's understanding of Su Ziji, he thinks it is unlikely.
Su Ziji therefore bowed his head to Cui Zhaoquan, which touched Cui Zhaoquan even more than the letter from home.
Who among high-ranking officials doesn’t have many friends?
But often with friends in the officialdom, you don't know whether you will help yourself or stab you when you are in trouble until the critical moment.
"Prime Minister Bai is still pressing his sword when he knows it, and the wise men of the rich family are laughing and flicking their crowns."
If someone can help him, he is definitely a close friend, but does the relationship between Su Ziji and Shao Sisen reach this level?
As for Su Zi, who traveled to the southwest, Cui Zhaoquan also had some understanding of it.
With this temper, he was able to hold his neck and refused to take the ladder he handed to him on the 10th, and refused to ease the relationship with himself. Before, I thought that this might be because of the presence of Supervisor Zhao behind him.
But with his current actions, all kinds of speculations, and Su Ziji's impression suddenly became blurred.
"Did I really blame Su Ziji wrongly? In fact, he was not trying to please the eunuch, but was a little too close to him, just out of gratitude?"
Even though the results are the same, the reasons are different and the feelings are completely different.
He is not afraid of criticism and doesn't mind socializing because Supervisor Zhao is helping him. How can such a person not help his friend when he is in trouble?
Now interceding for Shao Sisen's corpse is in the same vein.
Cui Zhaoquan's heart was churning. He had roughly read the letter, put it aside, and then read the mourning letter.
This move is obviously different. It is deeply emotional and concise. There is no lack of energy in the whole text. When I read the sentence "Who among our ancestors will not die, why should we worry if we know our fate? The virtue of a humble gentleman, what can we ask for?"
In amazement, unable to hold back his expression, he looked at the young man standing in front of him with a complicated expression.
"This boy's literary talent is truly unparalleled."
Cui Zhaoquan did not speak immediately. He read it again and said after a long time: "You are so talented. Since you have this request, how can I refuse and end the relationship?"
With such a talent and such a good story, it is enough to be passed down to the world and be talked about!
Su Ziji lowered his eyebrows and glanced.
"[Four Books and Five Classics] Level 16 (13566/16000)"
These days, I have been chanting sutras constantly, and now my intelligence is as high as 18. Every chapter read aloud, or 3 or 4 points of forced experience, and it is only ten days before I can break through to level 17, according to the progress of chanting 100 chapters a day!
This level has faintly surpassed Cui Zhaoquan. Even I feel that every word is precious, and deleting a word would not convey the meaning, and adding a word would be too cumbersome.
If Cui Zhaoquan cannot be alarmed, it means Cui Zhaoquan has lost his literary heart.
Although Cui Zhaoquan squinted his eyes and couldn't see his expression, his heart was indeed moved. He wanted to explain to Su Ziji again that he would be shaken when faced with Mu Sang's proposal that day. On the one hand, he was considering the overall situation, and on the other hand,
Then he mistakenly blamed Su Ziji, thinking that killing a talented villain was not a wrong thing.
But now, the misunderstanding has been resolved.
But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say them out. After all, now that this has happened, no matter what the reason is, it is still a dead end. I have to ask myself, if it happens to me, I am afraid that I will not be willing to do it.
It's enough for Su Ziji to bow his head to his friends and give each other a step up.
Fortunately, although this knot may not be able to be untied, as long as the relationship eases, as time goes by, when Su Ziji gradually understands that it is not easy to be an official, he probably understands his helplessness that day.
"I feel very touched that you wrote this article for your friend. In this case, you go find the captain and ask him to board the merchant ship with which you have recently traded."
"There are many merchant ships. In addition to housing people and transporting goods, there should be enough space that can be sorted out to temporarily store Shao Sisen's body."
"If you tell them directly that this is my order, they will not refuse."
Su Ziji heard this and immediately saluted him: "Thank you, sir!"
Cui Zhaoquan looked at him for a moment and sighed: "You go back, but don't mourn too deeply and hurt your heart. You can still make it in time for the National Examination. When you return to the capital, you still have to take the National Examination. This person has passed away.
People who are alive should look forward."
The tenderness of these words made Su Ziji sigh and thank him again.
After retreating and walking to the deck, Su Ziji went to the captain of the imperial envoy's ship and told Cui Zhaoquan's instructions.
"Your Excellency must be referring to the merchant ships of the Yan family. They had eight ships when they went to the southwest. They did not suffer any losses when they encountered sea monsters. When they came back, they had two more new ships. These two new ships should be empty. I am here
Just let the ship pass by."
At this point, he reminded: "By the way, they also carry wood on the ship."
Su Ziji thought to himself: We even have a coffin.
He bowed to the captain: "Thanks for the tip!"
With the imperial envoy's order and the flag waving, the official ship and the Yan family's merchant ship soon approached. Su Ziji jumped over and told the leader of the Yan family's caravan who came over after hearing the news about transporting Shao Sisen's body back to Beijing.
The head of the Yan family was wearing silk and satin clothes. He was of medium height, with a slight belly. His facial features looked very kind, but after listening to Su Ziji's words, his face turned a little ugly. After all, it was really unlucky to transport corpses on merchant ships.
But when I heard it, I heard that this was the imperial envoy's order, and he had obtained the imperial envoy's consent. Although he was the person in charge of the Yan family's caravan, how could a businessman dare to resist the imperial envoy's order?
Even the person in front of them was said to be a highly talented person in the Imperial Academy. He might be a newly minted Jinshi by the time the examination is over. They were not willing to make grudges.
So, he had no choice but to agree with a grimace: "Since it's the imperial envoy's order, how can I dare not disobey it?"
"There are empty cabins on the ship. Presumably as long as the door is not opened during the process, the disease will not be spread."
