Zhuangyuan Street, Hailing County.
Xu He, who had just returned from visiting his teacher in Yangzhou, brought Li Sikui back.
Li Zhijie finally discovered that during the time when his son was with Xu He, his health improved and his knowledge also improved a lot.
When my son's knowledge was tested at school, he not only answered questions as fluently as before, but he would also argue with me, the father, in a clear-cut manner, often on a single question.
The key point is that in the debate between father and son, although Li Sikui had many naive ideas because of his young age, his views on some things actually made him, a second-ranked Jinshi, quite new.
Don't think that in ancient times, everything was conservative. Intellectuals in every era actually had a strong desire to explore the unknown world.
However, at a certain period of time, this desire for exploration was suppressed from all sides and became conservative.
Even if it is conservative, that is the way to explore the world and become conservative.
Otherwise, even in a time like Wanqing, why would a great person like Gong Zizhen still write the eternally famous line "I urge God to cheer up again"?
Therefore, Li Zhijie, who was obviously Xu He's teacher, ended up sending his son to Xu He to study.
At this time, Xu He, Li Sikui and Zhang Sanrang were rummaging through rubble in an abandoned house somewhere in Xujiacun.
Xie Liangcai looked at the two children speechlessly and said: "Liangsheng, you are not going to take the exam next year, but you are leading two little kids to catch bugs every day. Isn't this not doing your job properly!"
Xu He smiled and said: "Brother Defu, you don't understand, this is called entertaining!"
"Hey, I caught a bug, but you still get involved in entertaining? Come on, tell me how you entertained in education?" The three of them squatted down and rummaged through the rubble out of boredom.
Xu He said to Li Sikui: "Sikui, tell your senior brother about crickets!"
When Li Sikui heard this, he raised his head and belly like a little grown-up and said: "The crickets are in the hall, and the years have passed. I'm not happy now, and the sun and the moon will get rid of me. I have a good life, and I think about my home. There is no such thing as happiness." Huang, the good scholar Qu Qu."
Xie Liangcai was greatly surprised when he heard this. This poem comes from "The Book of Songs·Guo Feng·Tang Feng". The full text has three paragraphs. It roughly means that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the year is approaching the end of the year. Time goes by, and the year flies by. Cherish every day!
Tsk, tsk, tsk, these three people are obviously sweating a lot, but they keep saying that they should cherish their time?
It's very inconsistent, okay?
Xie Liangcai was still dissatisfied. Li Sikui was a genius child, which did not explain the problem.
He looked at the little fat man Zhang Sanrang: "Sanrang, come on, tell me too!"
Compared with Li Sikui, the little fat man was indeed not a tiny bit weaker.
He stuck out his little butt, squatted on the ground and thought for a long time, and finally said: "July is outdoors, August is in the sky, September is at home, and in October crickets come under my bed!"
Xie Liangcai was completely dumbfounded.
Gifted children are not representative.
But this little fat guy can actually recite "The Book of Songs, Youfeng, July". This is...
This boy and his clan brother are about to be enlightened for one year.
Sad...
He looked at Xu He with a strange look on his face: "Liangsheng, if I have a son in the future, I will definitely let you live here. It's settled!"
Xu He has one head and two children. Well, maybe my home will become a nursery in the future?
At this time, Xu He was tired after squatting for a long time, so he left the two babies to be taken by Ding Ze and continued to look for insects. He and Brother Defu sat down on the steps of the house without caring about their appearance at all.
"Liangsheng, you asked people to go to Songjiang, and you can make brother Shen Xuan turn against you just by relying on this little bug?"
Xu He said with a smile: "I have a free hand at chess. What's the point of trying it?"
Xie Liangcai shook his head: "Where did you find that Zhou Bi? Not only is he good at both civil and military skills, but he also understands the Book of Worms!"
Xu He told how he met Zhou Ju, and how Zhou Ju introduced his younger brother.
Xie Liangcai sighed: "It is said that there are sages in the mountains and fields, and it is true. I have never seen Zhou Ju, but if a talent like Zhou Bi is released for two years to practice, he will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Speaking of this, he smiled and shook his head and said: "But it seems better to follow you than to follow others. If you win the apricot list next year, he might also be able to follow you and soar into the sky in the future!"
"By the way!" Xie Liangcai said, "I heard that the case of Deng Qing, the supervisory censor of Henan Province, has been settled?"
Xu He nodded. The news came back from Xu Dai not long ago.
It is said that Deng Qing was dismissed from office because he colluded with junior officials in the school bookstore to cheat in examinations and framed him for going to the imperial examination. The imperial court issued an order and Deng Qing was dismissed from his post. He was immediately sent to the capital to be imprisoned by the Jinyi Guards. He was asked to be executed in the following autumn, and he escaped. 】’s family immediately sent out arrest documents and found the case. The man was exiled to the Jiubian Army and the woman was sent to the Jiaofang Secretary.
Deng Qing's end was very tragic. Fraud in imperial examinations has always been the most taboo thing for emperors.
Emperor Zheng may not have cared about official corruption.
But he will certainly not tolerate fraud.
The imperial examination for scholars was a major event for the court, related to the country's reputation and the court's blood exchange.
If the scientific examination was wantonly sabotaged along the way, wouldn't the imperial officials be able to appoint private individuals through the imperial examination?
Over time, isn't the imperial court just the words of a certain big shot?
This is absolutely intolerable for an emperor, especially one who does not go to court all year round and hides in the palace to practice Taoism.
"Deng Qing's family members must have been hidden by the Shen family, otherwise Deng Qing would never have been so hard-boned and refused to admit the fact that it was a sure thing!" Xie Liangcai said.
Xu He nodded: "I have asked people to investigate this matter, hoping to find some clues!"
Xie Liangcai frowned and asked: "What if we find out? Do you still want to save Deng Qing's family?"
"Deng Qing deserves the blame for his actions, but the Shen family framed me and got away with it. How can this be true? I don't know why the court always let Shen Han go. But I believe that if Deng Qing is willing to admit who instigated this matter, The imperial court can no longer pretend to be deaf and blind and only pick weak persimmons!"
Xie Liangcai nodded and asked: "What about Wang Zhong? I heard that this man was stripped of his clothes by Wang Liangchen and is now an ordinary person without fame. Over there..."
Xu He smiled slightly: "Wang Zhong. His family's problems are not limited to me. Look, even if I don't take action, there are still people who will look out for me!"
"You, you mean those water bandits in Huzhou?" Xie Liangcai's eyes lit up.
Xu He smiled slightly and said: "If the Wang family does not harbor Japanese pirates, then everything is easy to say, but if he does something that is outrageous to both humans and gods, huh..."
Just as Xu He and Xie Liangcai were talking, in front of a house in Guanyuanfang, Changshu County, several big men were carrying a wonton stall and shouting loudly in front of the house of a government official named Wang!
