The life in the academy is pleasant. Zhuang Qingzhai now feels like a dead tree is blooming. He heard that there are two more beautiful women in the family. Everyone knows that the old man's family is not in Chang'an. The two more women are very suspicious. Dong Zhongshu
Seeing that Zhuang Qingzhai never spoke to him, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves. If it weren't for the fact that Zhuang Qingzhai was getting older, Dong Zhongshu would have kicked Zhuang Qingzhai out of the academy.
But today, Zhuang Qingzhai was very decadent and suddenly aged ten years. Gong Shuya held the teapot and asked with a smile: "Old Lieutenant, do you want to ask Mr. Chunyu to take a look at you? You should be full of energy by looking like this.
The two deficiencies are caused by insufficient kidney water. I heard that Mr. Chunyu has a secret recipe that can make old clams produce pearls. Do you want to try it?"
Gongshu Ya said so wretchedly that Zhuang Qingzhai's crutch hit the ground hard: "You old fool, I'm not in the mood to argue with you. I thought I would spend the rest of my life carefree in the academy, but who would have thought
All of them are harmful."
Gongshu Ya waved his hand: "You have to learn from Mr. Dong and Mr. Wen about this matter. One is Mr. Su's father-in-law, and the other is Mr. Su's teacher. They are not anxious, so why are you anxious?"
"Hey!" Dong Zhongshu sighed: "If it's Su Ziheng's matter, I'm not worried. I'm worried about those scoundrels!"
Although there was no news on the streets about Bian Tong's provocation of the emperor in Cuixiang Tower, the officials inside and outside the palace knew something about it. Some people were angry about Bian Tong's actions, and some wanted to sit aside and watch the fun. Naturally, there were also some
People were worried about Biantong. With Mayi's great victory, the current emperor's prestige was at its peak. No one in the world dared to say no to the emperor anymore. Biantong was a pioneer.
According to the news leaked from the palace, the emperor was very angry with Bian Tong. At that time, he did not take action in Cuixianglou because of his majesty. After returning, he immediately issued an order to dismiss Bian Tong's officials and ordered Bian Tong to think about his mistakes at home.
The people who went to Cuixianglou with Bian Tong that day were all dismissed from office, and a few were already on their way to Lingnan. The speed of the resolute movement was faster than ever.
Su Kai knelt in front of the emperor, with his head lowered and a serious look on his face: "It has been found out that Bian Tong was just domineering for a while, and no one was behind him. Those who followed him to Cuixiang Tower were just coincidence, and there were no other problems.
"
"Hmph! This reckless thing, I gave him a little face, but he is so arrogant, it's really annoying!" Liu Che took two steps: "By the way, aren't there usually three of them? That Zhu Maichen and Chao Chao
Not involved?”
Su Kai said: "The two of them were also present at the time, but they hid when they saw His Majesty's guards and did not participate in the matter."
"Hahaha!" Liu Che laughed: "So there are smart people here. No wonder these two people didn't play with Bian Tong that day. It seems that they saw some problems. What do you think of Zhu Maichen?"
Su Kai said nothing and knelt on the ground calmly. Liu Che shook his head and sighed, looked at Su Kai and then at Liu Jiqing: "You two are almost mute now. I don't ask and don't say anything. Hey! It's not just that.
You and those guys don't come here very much anymore. Think about how comfortable it was when I and the others were drinking in this announcement room. Why are you becoming more and more unfamiliar now that you are getting bigger and bigger? It seems that it is better to do something different.
It would be better to give them promotions!"
Both Liu Jiqing and Su Kai still had their original expressions. Liu Che's emotion was not responded to, so he waved his hand: "Get up! Where did Su Ren go?"
"We have passed Jinyang, and we can reach Baimadu in three days. If we take a boat, we can return to Chang'an in half a month!"
Liu Che nodded: "I heard that someone was planning to kill officials and rob prisons on the road. Who did it?"
"They are a group of horse thieves. General Su had some contact with them when he was outside the Great Wall. They were the ones who harassed the Huns and opened a passage for the army in Shuofang."
"Oh? Are they the group of people from Taihang Mountain? Have their families been properly arranged?"
"The prefect of Jinyang has made arrangements, and General Su has also asked the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce to take care of him. Although he cannot say that he is living a good life now, he can have enough food and clothing."
Liu Che nodded and said with a smile: "This group of people thinks so highly of Su Ren that they dare to kill officials and rob the prison car. When Su Ren comes back, I will ask him carefully whether I am the lord of the world or the master of the world in the eyes of those horse thieves.
Is he Su Ren?"
Liu Jiqing and Su Kai, who had just stood up, hurriedly knelt down again. This issue was very sensitive. If the emperor said this, it meant that the person might rebel. Su Kai wanted to explain, but he closed his mouth again when he saw Liu Jiqing's eyes. Liu Che was in a good mood.
After a while, he asked Su Kai to continue to monitor the movements of Bian Tong, Zhu Maichen, and Dynasty, and then sent Su Kai away.
The memorials in the announcement room were piled up as high as one person, and they were put together in categories. The Zhongshu Ministry of Education had already made a list of them, and the main things had been labeled and affixed to the memorials. As long as you saw the notes on the top memorial, you would
He almost knew what this pile of memorials was about. Liu Che reached out and one of his servants took out one from the highest pile of memorials and gently placed it in Liu Che's hand.
Liu Che glanced at Tiao Chen first and then smiled: "Dazong Zhengdu interceded for Su Ren. Why, someone in his family also bought the military merits from the merchants?"
Liu Jiqing said quickly: "Da Zongzheng's family doesn't have any. The brother of Da Zongzheng's ninth concubine bought ten heads."
Liu Che was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and threw the memorial aside. The chamberlain took another memorial, which was a plea for Su Ren. This time it was Jing Zhaoyin. Liu Che's eyes widened: "Why are there still others?"
Him? I thought this old guy was upright, but I didn’t expect him to do this kind of thing in private?"
Liu Che originally planned to throw away the memorial, but did not hear Liu Jiqing's answer. He looked back at Liu Jiqing, rolled his eyes, and spread out the memorial. Indeed, no one in Jingzhao Yin Zhai's family bought military merit.
The memorial expressed his views on this matter. Zhai Gong believed that the number of dignitaries and merchants in the capital was not large, but they accounted for almost 80% of the property. It was not a good thing for so much property to be concentrated in the hands of a few people. Su Ren took advantage of selling
The method of military merit is to take out the money from the wealthy families and merchants, give part of it to the soldiers who worked for the big man, and put the other part into the national treasury. This is a good thing.
Although Zhai Gong hasn't figured out what's good about it, in short he thinks that taking money from the pockets of the rich is right. In addition, the law of Han Dynasty does not prohibit the buying and selling of military merits, so Su Ren is not wrong, at least it cannot be used as a crime.
Liu Che read Zhai Gong's memorial word for word, wrote a line of small words on the side with a red pen, closed the memorial, and ordered it to be sent directly to Zhai Gong's house. With this memorial, Liu Che finally found the allies.
Although Mr. Zhai is old, he still has good vision, which makes Liu Che feel happy that not all his court members are mediocre people, but there are still elites with unique vision.
Liu Che also saw the memorials of Zhu Maichen and Chao Chao. These two people were able to intercede for Su Ren, which left Liu Che speechless. Although the content of the memorial was empty, since it was included in the memorial of intercession, it showed that they planned to communicate with Bian Tong.
This guy parted ways. Liu Che despised such a person from the bottom of his heart. If he wanted to be a traitor, he should stick to the end. What kind of traitor is it to act according to the wind? If you plead for your enemy, could they think that Su Ren could let them go when he returns to Chang'an?
?
Liu Che wanted to laugh when he thought of this. The last time it was this same Biantong who took a Hanbao in the court and sued Sima Xiangru and his wife for printing the name of the great ancestor, thinking it was disrespectful. Sima Xiangru was frightened.
The couple almost committed suicide. This time they dared to provoke Su Ren. It seemed that they really didn't want to live anymore. The reason why Liu Che didn't touch these three guys was because he wanted to see how he would take revenge when Su Ren came back.
Bian Tong is a fool, but Zhu Maichen and Chao Chao are smart people. When Bian Tong was dismissed from office, they also felt that their danger was coming. Without caring about their dignity, they hurried to Louguan wearing tattered clothes.
The academy asked their teacher Zhuang Qingzhai for help. They knew that as long as Zhuang Qingzhai was willing to put down his face and ask Su Ren to let them go, they would not die. They were still young, and as long as they did not die, they would have another chance in the future.
Zhu Maichen and Chao Chao cried very sadly, lying on the ground with snot and tears, almost calling themselves pigs and dogs. Especially Chao Chao kept kowtowing, and there was already blood on his head.
Zhuang Qingzhai was really in a dilemma. He also knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Su Ren would most likely let these two people go. Because Su Ren had this attitude towards him at the beginning. Not only did he let him go, he also invited him to the academy.
But Zhuang Qingzhai didn't have the shame to open his mouth to Su Ren. The old man had finally figured out who his three nominal students were. He opened his mouth this time, and if he did it again next time, he would not be alive by then.
If not, I will be scolded by others for the rest of my life.
"Teacher, our brothers are desperate. The side guy is doing something wrong. We tried to persuade him for a long time, but he just didn't listen. Now everyone thinks it was the three of us who conspired, but it's not true! The student has changed his ways and asked the teacher to save his life.
!" Wang Chao's nose got into his mouth and he didn't bother to wipe it. He took two steps on his knees and hugged Zhuang Qingzhai's legs.
Zhuang Qingzhai looked at Zhu Maichen and Chao Chao, and closed his eyes in pain, not knowing how to answer.
Zhu Maichen continued: "Students also know that this time they will not be forgiven by death. I just ask the teacher to tell General Su to let the two of us go. We will go back and resign immediately, flee to the mountains and forests, and never return to Chang'an!"
"
The three masters and apprentices cried in the room for a long time. When Zhu Maichen and Chao Chao came out, the worry on their faces had gone away a lot. Gongshu Ya looked into Zhuang Qingzhai's room and saw Zhuang Qingzhai.
Sitting on the chair blankly, he walked in by himself.
"It seems that you were deceived by those two guys again?"
Zhuang Qingzhai didn't speak, closed his eyes and ignored Gongshuya. Gongshuya smiled and said: "These three guys didn't do anything good when they were in the academy. Even if you save their lives this time, if you save their lives next time,
If they still do this, how can you deal with it? Mr. Su is coming back soon, how are you going to face him?"
Zhuang Qingzhai sighed: "Hey! Once this matter is over, I am going to go back to my hometown and stop interfering with anything from now on. This time, I am devoted to the three of them. If I do anything ridiculous in the future, it will be life or death."
I have nothing to do with me anymore."
"That's easy to say! I'm afraid you won't be able to live well in Wuqiang by then!"
"I can't worry about so much anymore! We are all of the same age, let's just live one day at a time!"
Gongshuya couldn't say anything else, so he stood up and sighed: "If you don't stay in such a good place like the academy and get yourself into trouble for some bad things, is your brain broken or something? Mr. Chunyu disemboweled another person.
The disease has been cured, how about I ask him to come and get rid of those random thoughts in your head?" (To be continued)
