The reason why Xu He didn't agree to Hu County Cheng immediately.
That's because I am a scholar and cannot give others the feeling that I will retaliate for my anger.
Otherwise, over time, your reputation will become bad.
After becoming a member of the public health system, many scholars feel that they belong to the privileged class. They help others with lawsuits and act as arrogant and Tibetan men in the county government. They are extremely arrogant when they see the county magistrate.
This kind of behavior is very disgraceful.
The imperial court issued repeated orders that scholars should concentrate on their studies and not get involved in chores. In particular, they should not collude with local officials to file lawsuits in the countryside.
Although the object of "collusion" this time was not an official, Xu He still cherished his feathers.
Therefore, he waited for a long time to let Hu Xian Cheng take the initiative to say what he wanted to say, and then Xu He spoke up.
At this moment, the county government office came to inform Xu He that the county magistrate had let him in.
Xu He entered the second hall and saw Zhang Jingxian walking out hurriedly. He met him face to face without exchanging greetings. He just nodded and went out.
When he arrived, County Magistrate Chen said: "You should wait for Little Shigong and go back to rest first. Don't run around for a while, and don't go to school for now. Just stay in Hailing County!"
"But……"
County Magistrate Chen waved his hand and said, "I'll go talk to the government school. You can study at home in peace."
Yes, this student was forced to take a vacation within a few days of being stable!
When Xu He supported Xu Song's sedan back to Fenghuang Dun, Xu Dai saw him at the gate of the courtyard. His face suddenly lit up and he wanted to say something, but he was embarrassed.
In the end, it turned into only four words: "Just come back!"
Xu He saluted and said, "I'm making my second uncle worried!"
Xu Dai didn't expect Xu He to be so polite to him, and suddenly said with joy on his face: "Don't worry, don't worry!"
With that said, he arranged for someone to carry the eldest brother's sedan directly to the entrance of the backyard.
After Xu Song got off the sedan, he said to Xu He: "Come with me!"
Arriving at the main room in the backyard, Xu Song took the towel handed by the maid and wiped his tired face. He took another sip of tea before saying, "Tell me in detail what happened these days!"
Xu He didn't dare to be careless. From the time he arranged for everyone to take the risk to Shengshou Temple, he kept talking until he met Xu Song this morning.
Xu Song had been listening silently and did not interrupt.
After Xu He finished speaking, he frowned and said to Xu He: "You don't care whether it's a marquis or a duke's daughter from Beijing. If something happens to her, it's Xue Yongzhi's trouble! Don't you want to think about you before you save people? Mother? Don’t you want to think about our Xu family?”
No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum. Although Xu He looked calm, the meaning expressed in his words was very severe.
Seeing that Xu He was a little frightened, Xu Song sighed and said sincerely: "I have great expectations for you. Don't do such dangerous things in the future. In my opinion, no prince's daughter is as important as you. Do you understand? ?”
When Xu He heard this, he felt as if something was blocked in his heart. His eyes were slightly hot. He quickly bowed and said, "I understand, uncle, my nephew will never do it again!"
Xu Song saw his sincere attitude, so he nodded and said: "Good boy, do you know that you will encounter a big thing this time!"
Xu He had long been full of doubts, so he said: "Uncle, how come this demon from the White Lotus Sect has opened the Xiangtang to Hailing County right under his nose and hasn't been discovered yet?"
Xu Song shook his head and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked: "You said that the hall master calls himself the master of Wenxiang Hall? And when the saint recruits followers, the newcomers only need to drink a sip of tea?"
Xu He nodded: "Yes, this is what my nephew saw with his own eyes."
Xu Song thought for a while and said, "You may have met the White Lotus Sect, or maybe not!"
"What?" Xu He was a little confused.
Isn’t that the slogan of the White Lotus Sect for those inanimate old mothers and their empty hometown?
And those people call themselves the White Lotus Sect, how can they pretend to be so?
Xu Song said: "I once arrested a monster named Wang Sen when I was the envoy to Huguang. This man's original name was Shi Ziran. He was born in a humble family. When he founded the religion, he used good deeds such as "eating fast and chanting Buddha's name" and "building bridges and paving roads" to confuse the people. In addition, he preached the theory of heaven and hell, claiming that "those princes, generals and ministers who believe in me will be thrown into hell if they do not believe in me".
"The origin of their so-called [smell of fragrance] is the lie that the leader said about the fox demon repaying kindness. All the previous leaders have lied about the fox demon repaying kindness."
Xu He said in surprise: "I heard what you said, uncle, that the so-called leader should be the leader of the church. How could any of his subordinates steal the leader's words?"
Xu Song shook his head: "Listen to me first."
Then, he added: "Aren't you curious why the original leader's surname was Shi, and why he later called himself Wang Sen?"
Xu He was a little confused and said: "Why? Maybe it's because of the need to remain anonymous?"
Xu Song sneered and said: "He wanted to cling to a monster named Zhu Jianshen. This person claimed to be a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang in the late Yuan Dynasty. He formed secret societies among the people and went around creating troubles and stirring up trouble. He was known as [Prince Zhu] and was very poisonous." "
"Zhi Ziran, Zhu Jianshen's wife, Wang Zhongying, and Shi Ziran were fellow Yuanmen in Jinling. Shi Ziran met Zhu Jianshen through Wang Zhongying. Later, Shi Ziran changed his name to Wang Sen and claimed to be Wang Zhongying's cousin. From then on, the Wenxiang Sect was embraced by Zhu Jianshen and spread around the world. Fooling the people, on the one hand collecting money, on the other hand taking advantage of the government's unpreparedness to carry out rebellion!"
When Xu He heard the three words [Zhu Jianshen], he was stunned.
Zhu Jianshen, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen?
Zhu Jianshen who only loves the old woman Wan Guifei?
Zhu Jianshen, whose father went abroad for further studies and was released to become emperor again?
The prince has lived in the palace for six years, and Zhu Jianshen knows nothing about him?
Xu He's mind was a little confused. Isn't this the Wei Dynasty? how? Why did Zhu Jianshen come out?
Could it be said that in this parallel time and space, people are still the same people, but everyone's destiny has undergone earth-shaking changes?
The Zhang family, who was originally wiped out by the dead, became the emperor of the dynasty, and the Zhu family, who originally swept the world, became a rebel who colluded with a cult and was waiting for an opportunity?
It should be correct, Zhu Jianshen's second queen was named Wang, and she was indeed from Shangyuan County, Jinling, and her father was the Marquis of Ruian Town in the original time and space.
Seeing his expression changing constantly, Xu Song thought he was frightened in the past two days and was tired, so he asked with concern: "Are you tired? Do you want to go and rest first?"
Xu He shook his head and said, "Uncle, I'm fine! I'm just thinking about something."
"Oh?" Xu Song asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"My nephew is wondering, where is Zhu Jianshen now?"
Xu Song smiled and said: "He has been dead for a long time. Not long after Wang Sen followed him, it is said that Zhu Jianshen died of illness. Later, he followed the descendants of the Zhu family. It is said that their names were Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao, who had committed evil for more than thirty years. Finally, when I was over eighty years old, I was arrested when I was serving as the Inspector-General of Huguang."
"What about Zhu Houzhao?" Xu He asked impatiently.
Xu Song said: "They are dead. They incited the miners to rebel in Niushou Mountain. When I went to exterminate them, I was forced to jump into the river and commit suicide. Xu Yong had his leg chopped off in order to protect me in that battle!"
Xu He was dumbfounded. Although history had long been changed beyond recognition, there still seemed to be traces that could be traced to a person or a family.
Zhu Houzhao, also known as Emperor Zhengde, finally died of illness after drowning in Qingjiangpu.
