"I want all the information about Lin Yi!"
After Emperor Lin finished speaking, a dark figure disappeared into the imperial study.
Liu Yangming's heart was slightly shaken.
He wanted to know what Zhang Dong was reporting this time, so he actually asked His Majesty to send Long Guard to investigate.
After a while.
Emperor Lin put away the imperial paper, looked at Liu Yangming, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and said, "Liu Yangming, what do you think of Zhang Dong?"
Liu Yangming's forehead was covered with sweat and he hesitated.
He didn't know why His Majesty's movement just now was so loud.
Could it be related to Zhang Dong’s second folding note?
"I believe that Zhang Dong dares to set a precedent, has a certain amount of courage, and has a good ability to recognize people. He knows how to give way to talents and protect the people from the harm of unscrupulous scholars... He should be rewarded!"
Liu Yangming finally expressed his inner thoughts.
No matter whether His Majesty is angry or not.
Zhang Dong did something that made His Majesty Long Yan happy.
"You are right, you deserve a reward!"
Emperor Lin nodded and said: "But Zhang Dong is so ignorant that he actually wasted a piece of imperial paper from me. The papers he submitted are all nonsense. He should be punished!"
"The merits and demerits outweigh the merits. Zhang Dong will temporarily stay in Lindong County to see his subsequent performance!"
Emperor Lin said so.
But in fact, he was particularly satisfied with Zhang Dong's performance.
Know how to report two things separately.
He is a measured official.
But he appreciates it, and promoting Zhang Dong just because of this incident... is not appropriate after all.
"Back off!"
"yes!"
Liu Yangming kowtowed and left with Zhang Dong's official jade.
…
"Haoran Zhengqi, surnamed Lin, Nanfang... entered the eighth rank and established his destiny. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"
In the imperial study room, Emperor Lin raised the corner of his mouth with a slight arc.
There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
He remembered a baby he once held in his arms, who was his eldest son.
But later...
"His Majesty!"
At this moment, Mei Zheren's voice interrupted Emperor Lin's recollection: "Holy Master Kong is here!"
"Xuan!"
Emperor Lin straightened his clothes, stood up and walked to the chessboard in the imperial study.
Then an elegant old man wearing a white robe, white eyebrows and white beard walked into the room.
It was none other than the master of Zhenguo Holy Court, the sub-sage Kong Zhongzi.
"teacher!"
With a smile on his face, Emperor Lin waved to Kong Zhongzi and said: "I haven't played chess with the teacher for a long time. It just so happened that my chess skills have improved recently. Mei Zheren's chess skills are too poor and boring, which makes people Please come over, teacher, and play two games of chess with me."
"You didn't disturb the teacher's study, did you?"
Emperor Lin looked at Kong Zhongzi.
"Your Majesty summons you, how dare I neglect it? It's such a big deal, I have to let it go!"
"Since Your Majesty is so interested, I will accompany Your Majesty to play two games!"
Kong Zhongzi sat down opposite Emperor Lin. The two of them, each holding black and white stones, started fighting each other on the chessboard.
Emperor Lin attacked fiercely and hunted everywhere, but Kong Zhongzi dealt with it calmly and calmly.
It's as if the person in charge is in control of the situation and doesn't get involved in fireworks.
Halfway through the chess game.
Emperor Lin had just finished a piece and said casually: "There are scholars who have inherited Haoran's righteousness. What does the teacher think about this?"
Kong Zhongzi's hand paused for a moment and moved in a position it shouldn't have moved.
"Haha, in a game of chess between gentlemen, you are not allowed to ruin the game!"
Emperor Lin didn't seem to care about this and laughed, like a person who had been losing for a long time and finally saw a chance to make a comeback.
"I lost this round!"
Kong Zhongzi seemed to have something on his mind. Faced with Emperor Lin's offensive, he chose to give in step by step.
When Emperor Lin received his son, he said: "Teacher's eyes are never on the human world, but now he is looking at the human world because he is a scholar. But now, even I admire him very much!"
Kong Zhongzi nodded and said: "It is his blessing that he can be appreciated by His Majesty. The Holy Court will no longer interfere!"
He hid it after all.
Get along with you.
It's like being with a tiger.
If you do something wrong, you have to feed the tiger. Other than that... you have no choice.
"I want to know how he passed your inquiry!" Emperor Lin asked.
"Never!"
Kong Zhongzi shook his head, started to make moves again, and explained: "This son's poem bypassed the old man's inquiries and forcibly inherited Haoran's righteousness..."
Emperor Lin looked slightly moved.
Another poem.
This boy's poetic talent is a bit too strong.
"How does he understand righteousness?" Lin Di asked.
"The heaven and earth have righteous energy, and are mixed and endowed with fluid shapes. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars. To people, it is said to be vast, and it is as abundant as the sky."
"The imperial road should be clear and barbaric, and Hanhe should be in the Ming Dynasty. It's time to see the best, and we will draw pictures one by one!"
Kong Zhongzi opened his mouth and chanted.
He had already memorized these lines of poetry in his heart and recited them countless times, amazed by that man's talent.
Emperor Lin's hand froze in mid-air and did not fall down. He smiled and said, "It's better than I was before!"
Kong Zhongzi looked at Emperor Lin, his mind slightly moved.
…
The capital of Nanxiang Prefecture.
Junji Academy.
After He Weijun returned to the academy, he summoned the twenty-seven masters of the academy.
Report on the incident of scholars in Lindong County violating the law with their writing.
When it was mentioned that scholars were beheaded by government officials, all the masters were shocked and cursed.
"The government office is so powerful, how dare you kill me as a scholar?"
"We, the scholars, work for the sake of the common people, slaying demons and bringing peace to the country, but our arrogance and arrogance kill a few people. What's wrong?"
"When I was bleeding, why didn't I see the government office pushing forward?"
"It must be that the woman had a charming face and seduced the scholar. Her husband caught him and blamed the scholar. The scholar couldn't bear the humiliation, so he went on a rampage and killed her!"
"..."
boom!
After He Weijun heard these Master's words, he was so shocked that he slapped the table and shouted: "As a master of the fifth level of virtue, you can speak so openly!"
"The saints have judged studying as sinful, and it's your turn to fool around here? This dean advises you to restrain your disciples and don't cause any trouble to this dean!"
"In addition, the academy will start to be repaired from tomorrow. We will recruit skilled craftsmen from the capital and build a courtyard at the Chuanshan Mountain. The progress should be fast!"
He Weijun looked at the twenty-seven masters present and said, "Who will do this?"
"Dean, let me do it!"
A middle-aged master stood up and said, "In the past, I was responsible for supervising the repairs!"
"Okay, Master Zhong, then I'll leave this matter to you, don't let this dean mess it up!"
He Weijun nodded slightly.
Master Zhong’s father is an official in the Ministry of Works, and he also has a lot of experience in this area of construction.
Leave it to him, don’t worry!
…
Nightfall!
Qian Mansion, a prominent family in Nanxiang Prefecture.
"Master! Something bad has happened!"
A loud shout broke the silence of the Qian Mansion, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper ran into the courtyard of the head of the Qian Mansion with red eyes.
And at this time.
Crunch!
Qian Dechun, the owner of the Qian family who was working hard and shaking his bed, heard the housekeeper's scream and was so frightened that he almost dropped his small coin.
He opened the curtains and said angrily: "Why is this old Zhu making such a noise at night? Has his son died?"
