Six hundred and twentieth eight chapters both grace and power
Quan Guanqing's answer surprised He Xie. He Xie thought about it and realized that the matter was definitely not as simple as Quan Guanqing said.
An official like Lu Guanwen is first greedy for money and secondly loves power.
It is already very wrong that he would risk offending his immediate boss to kill Quan Guanqing. But it is even more unreasonable that he is willing to spend his own money to pay for the murder.
This Quan Guanqing has something to hide.
He Xie doesn't care if his subordinates do some tricks behind the scenes, do some private work, or make some money. If the water is clean, there will be no disciples. This principle has been true for five thousand years.
But this does not mean that he can tolerate his subordinates deceiving him.
At that moment, the smile on He Xie's face faded a bit.
He suddenly stood still, turned around, stared into Quan Guanqing's eyes, and just looked at him quietly.
Quan Guanqing was calm and composed at first, but soon the cold sweat started to fall from his forehead.
His face turned green and white for a while, and He Xie's gaze seemed to penetrate his heart, and every breath was torture.
Suddenly, Quan Guanlan fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice: "This subordinate deserves to die! This Lu Guanwen humiliated this subordinate ten years ago... I have a grudge in my heart and almost neglected my private life because of public service. I beg you to punish me!"
He Xie said slowly: "It is only natural for a man to seek revenge and complain. You are right about this matter. Do you know where you went wrong?"
Quan Guanqing wiped his cold sweat and said: "Subordinates should not deceive the Lord."
There was another uncomfortable silence.
"The matter has been settled." After a long time, He Xie said calmly, "I won't do this again."
"Thank you, Lord, for your generosity!" Quan Guanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still beating fast. It was so exciting!
When he stood up again, he felt as if he had collapsed and was covered in cold sweat.
On the side, Wang Yuyan's eyes were filled with brilliance. The majesty He Xie exuded just now made her see another side of this man's excellence.
At this time, the three of them had passed through the back garden and came to a door.
At this time, Quan Guanqing's attitude toward He Xie was not only humble, but also a little more awe-inspiring.
"I have informed you, Lord, that the six hundred and three orphans will be settled in the back mountain," Quan Guanqing said.
He Xie frowned slightly and said, "Go and have a look."
Quan Guanqing noticed He Xie's expression, and his heart sank again, wondering if he had done something wrong again.
He was startled and doubtful, so he respectfully took He Xie out of the back door.
There is a shallow valley outside the back door. There are six rows of houses built in the shallow valley, surrounded by earthen walls. They look very simple.
At this time, there were children playing in the open space of the house, and the sound of reading could be heard in the room.
"Your Majesty, I specially sent six subordinates to work with Master to manage these children, and also arranged ten cooks to provide meals for these children." Quan Guanqing said carefully while observing He Xie's expression.
He Xie nodded and said: "Master of the whole palace, please call the master you invited. I want to see him."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Quan Guanqing took the order and left anxiously.
Watching Quan Guan Qingyuan go away, Wang Yuyan looked at He Xie with a look of admiration and said, "Everyone says you are kind. I thought they were just afraid of you. I didn't expect you to have adopted so many orphans."
He Xie looked back at her, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are still too naive."
Wang Yuyan wondered: "Why do I hear that you are not praising me?"
He Xie chuckled and said, "So you are very smart."
Wang Yuyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at He Xie, but the next moment, she pursed her lips and smiled.
This is why she likes to get along with He Xie, this man always makes her feel comfortable.
Huh? We must be very comfortable getting along with him.
Soon, Quan Guanqing came here with a gray-haired old man. The old man chatted with Quan Guanqing all the way. Quan Guanqing looked impatient and scolded him. The old man looked
Angrily, he said nothing more.
When he arrived, Quan Guanqing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Wei whom I have invited to teach."
He Xie bowed his hands and said, "Well done, sir. My surname is He, and my courtesy name is De Yue. I am the leader of the Tianxiahui."
This moral covenant was the epitome of He Xie's Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. He chose it to test his righteousness and bind himself with virtue. Now that he has met scholars, He Xie might as well use it.
Master Wei originally just looked at He Xie coldly, but He Xie's respectful salute made him a little flattered, and he suddenly felt at a loss.
He coughed twice and returned the greeting with his hands raised, saying: "How polite are you, my lord, Wei Wei'an."
Vivian?
This name...
He Xie said calmly: "I have taken the liberty to call you, sir, because I have something to ask you for advice. I apologize for any rudeness."
Master Wei's expression became even calmer and he said, "I admire you greatly for your lordship's good deeds in the world. If you have any instructions, just ask."
He Xie nodded and asked a few simple questions about the children. Master Wei answered them fluently and did not sound like he was just messing around. However, He Xie asked a few more pointed questions, and Master Wei also spoke frankly and completely.
Regardless of Quan Guanqing's face turning dark on one side.
"Master He, there are more than 600 children, and I am the only one to teach them, and I lack paper and pen. Even if I have a lot of heads and six arms, I can't teach them! There are also several subordinates of the master of the whole palace who often treat the children.
Beating and scolding, fasting as punishment, punishment without evidence, it all depends on the mood..."
Master Wei was full of opinions and expressed his bitterness towards He Xie. He said this for half a stick of incense. It wasn't until Quan Guanqing's face on one side turned black to the bottom of the pot and he couldn't help coughing anymore that he finally woke up.
, snorted coldly and stopped talking.
He Xie kept a smile on his face from beginning to end. When Master Wei finished speaking, he said gently: "I remember what Master Wei said."
After saying that, he turned back to Quan Guanqing and said: "Master Quan, regarding these children, although there are some omissions in your arrangements, the flaws are not hidden. They are in good order and have no worries about food and clothing. It is all your credit."
Quan Guanqing hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I am ashamed."
"Five things you need to do immediately." He Xie smiled and got straight to the point.
"Please give me your orders, Lord."
"First, you move these children into Ziwei Palace immediately." He Xie said seriously, "Since Tianxiahui has adopted them, they are the future of Tianxiahui, how can we let them live outside Tianxiahui?
Moreover, this shallow valley is in a low-lying area at the foot of the mountain. Once there is a flash flood, the consequences will be disastrous."
Quan Guanqing broke into cold sweat again: "This subordinate is not thoughtful and deserves death."
He Xie waved his hand: "Don't engage in such a thing that you should be punished with death. Master, don't forget what I said to you in Wuxi. The only criterion for measuring merit and demerit here is to do things. Do good deeds and do good deeds."
Right thing."
"Yes..." Quan Guanqing wiped his sweat and said.
"Second, the back garden should be demolished, the back wall should be expanded, and the Tianxiahui School should be built to accommodate 10,000 people."
"Third, invite ten more gentlemen and divide the children into ten classes, with each gentleman responsible for one class."
"Fourth, for those who have beaten and scolded children, you punish them on your own, expel them from the school and use them for other purposes. If they are punished for their crimes, you will have meritorious service. You will also arrange for twenty people to enter the school and be responsible for teaching the children martial arts."
"Fifth, you work with Mr. Wei to arrange the class divisions. Choose three people from each class as class leaders, and they will help manage the children's moral conduct."
Quan Guanqing bowed and said respectfully: "I obey my orders!"
He Xie nodded, turned around, bowed to Master Wei, and said, "I admire you for your talents and virtues. I would like to ask you to condescend to do the job of offering wine in the school."
