Suddenly two walking seats were vacated, and Siwangtang was immediately shocked.
Ziyu was the first to say: "I have recommended Song Mu many times, but everyone has rejected it during the discussion. Now it is his turn, right?"
Jianwu was on duty this season, but he still didn't give in on this matter. He smiled and said, "Huang Yue has waited many times. Shouchun let Huang Yue go, and Jiujiang let Song Mu go. How about that?"
Song Mu was famous for his fighting skills in the academy, second only to the left and right swordsmen of the Sword Sect. Huang Yue was a lecturer and a senior monk who was busy queuing for a long time.
In the past, whenever there was a vacancy when walking somewhere, Ziyu and Jianwu would fight each other, but no one could get what they wanted. Now that there are two vacancies, everyone can finally be happy, and Song Mu and Huang Yue can work together.
Ziyu was about to nod in agreement when Uncle Lian suddenly asked, "Jiang Fengxing, do you have something to say?"
Jiang Ying really had something to say, but he hesitated and didn't know what he wanted to say.
Ziyu immediately heightened his vigilance, this woman was going to cause trouble!
Luo Lingfu immediately blocked it: "This is a meeting of the Great Sengxing. When decisions are made, we can't participate in it."
Jian Wu said warmly, "It's okay. Although Jiang Fengxing is in charge of the discussion, you and I both work for the Academy. Since we are here, we can express our opinions face to face. If they are reasonable, we should adopt them."
Jiang Ying nodded and said: "Well, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not. Since the great minister said so, I will just say it. Originally, when the great ministers decided on the candidates for Shouchun and Jiujiang, I didn't It's such a lie, but since we are talking about Song Mu... I would like to ask, is Song Mu from Li Yi?"
Liyi was a large town in the Song Dynasty. It was the fiefdom of many Song Dynasty officials and had extremely rich grain production. Song Mu was originally from the Song Dynasty, so it would not be surprising if he was born here.
Sure enough, Ziyu said: "Yes, he is from Liyi, the son of Song Xing, the official of the Song Dynasty."
Jiang Ying said: "That's it... In February three years ago, a man named Song Xian from Liyi came to Linzi to pay homage to the mountain. He wanted to see Song Mu, but Song Mu refused. I heard that Song Xian was Song Mu's brother. He met Song Mu. The purpose is to let him return home to mourn his mother, but I don’t know if that’s true.”
At this point, Jiang Ying said nothing more, but Ziyu felt a chill in his heart.
According to the Zhou rites, the mourning period for parents is difficult, and it is also said that "three years of mourning is the most mourning for the world." This means that after the death of parents, one should mourn. There is no rule for the period of mourning, but three years is the best. Period, so that you can fully show your filial piety.
Of course, not everyone will observe filial piety for three years. There is no fixed rule in the world. Some observe filial piety for one year, some observe for two years, and some only observe for half a year. However, if you observe filial piety for less than three years, you will always be criticized. Even if you argue that your outlook on life and the world are different, and that there is no necessary connection between the length of filial piety and whether you fulfill your filial piety, you will be looked down upon by others if you tell me.
As for Song Mu...
If the man named Song Xian is really Song Mu's brother, if he really came to Linzi three years ago, if he really came to persuade Song Mu to return home and observe filial piety, then Song Mu is really in big trouble this time.
Because Ziyu knew that Song Mu would stay filial piety for not only half a year, but not even three months, one month, or one day. In those months, Song Mu didn't go down the mountain at all, because he was helping him win the position of Yangzhou Walker, and Huang Yue The fight was fierce!
But before he could compete, Qingshu took his place. After that, he did not go down the mountain, including competing for the position of Weiguo City Pu Xingxing and the second Yangzhou Xingxing, but he failed successively due to the competition between Huang Yue.
Can Jiang Ying tell lies? She obviously wouldn't do it in this situation. Now that she has said it, she can be 90% sure that it is true.
I have never observed filial piety for a day. Although no country in the world will explicitly punish this, including the Academy, but what kind of place is the Academy? This is the holy land in the hearts of the monks in the world, the source of gathering of all the ways, and an example for the world. Choosing such a person to walk in the world will greatly affect the reputation of the academy.
Song Mu, this idiot, why didn't you report such a big thing to me?
But after all, he still asked for proof. Ziyu reluctantly said to Luo Lingfu: "Lingfu, go ask Song Mu if this is the case?"
Luo Lingfu sighed secretly, got up and left, and returned soon after: "Song Mu said that my personal ethics have been compromised, and I will never fight for freedom from now on."
Ziyu said coldly: "If you don't fight for walking? Is this the end?"
Ji Xian advised: "It is indeed a matter of private morality, but don't be too demanding."
Ziyu sighed: "I didn't know the person well, so I made a mistake and made a wrong recommendation."
Jianwu consoled him: "Ziyu, calm down. No one is perfect. Brother Ziyu, don't feel guilty. It's said that you know people, know faces, but don't know their hearts. Who can guarantee that you will never make mistakes when recommending talents? In the future, when recommending talents, , just be more cautious.”
Ziyu offered his hand to Jianwu and said, "Thank you for your advice."
Jianwu smiled: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
Luo Lingfu suddenly said: "When I asked Song Mu just now, he was very ashamed. He admitted his fault, but he also said a few angry words. I don't know whether they were true or not. Should I say it or not?"
Jianwu, Ji Xian, and Ziyu were all startled, and Uncle Lian said, "It doesn't matter what Lingfu said."
Luo Lingfu said: "Song Mu said that when Song came first that day, he didn't know about it. He didn't know about it until more than half a year later..."
Ziyu said angrily: "Even if we find out after half a year, we should go down the mountain and return home immediately!"
Luo Lingfu said: "Yes, Song Mu also admitted that he had selfish motives... But he said that when Song Xian came to the academy that day, he asked people in front of the lecture hall where Song Mu was. Someone claimed that he was Song Mu's friend and was willing to pass the news on his behalf. The result was that Song Mu was in retreat, and no one was seen. This is the reason Song Xian said that he was rejected by Song Mu."
Ziyu asked: "Who is this person?"
Luo Lingfu said: "Song Mu said that he had found out that this person was Huang Yue. Song Mu also said that Huang Yue thought he was acting secretly, but at that time this scene was seen by Gao Pei, who was also giving lectures and offering wine. Gao Pei It can be proved.”
Jianwu frowned and said, "How dare Huang Yue be so bold?"
Luo Lingfu said: "Because Song Xian has an eye disease and cannot recognize people three steps away."
After these words were thrown out, there was a sudden silence in the Zuowang Hall.
The situation is obvious. Song Xian came to Song Mu to return home to observe his filial piety, but was intercepted by Huang Yue. Huang Yue saw that Song Xian could not see people clearly, so he hatched a plan and prepared a trap for Song Mu. Once Song Mu was expected to be released, Huang Yue I have to expose this to him.
After Song Mu knew about it, he did not report the matter to the academy because he did not want to go back to observe filial piety, so both parties remained silent until the period of observing filial piety passed.
If this matter is true, Huang Yue can be considered harmful to others, and his character is extremely worrying. He is no better than Song Mu, or even worse.
Jianwu's face suddenly lost all control. He was comforting Ziyu just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped on the face, making stars appear in his eyes!
Ziyu had a strange look on his face and managed to say something: "Ling Fu, don't...don't wrongly accuse a good man. You...ask Gao Pei and Huang Yue...and see what they say."
