Liu Qingzong was raised by his uncle.
His parents had a son in middle age. Shortly after giving birth to Liu Qingzong, he died of illness. Liu Qingzong, who was three years old at the time, had to live with his fourteen-year-old uncle.
His uncle had the same fate as him. He lost his father when he was five years old and his mother when he was eight years old. After that, he was raised by his brother and sister-in-law, and his brother and sister-in-law also supported his uncle's education. , but he was not a scholar. After his brother and sister-in-law left, he returned all the kindness to Liu Qingzong.
Even if the lives of the uncle and nephew were poor, he would still send his nephew to school.
Even if Liu Qingzong's uncle did not marry or have children, he was still willing to do so.
When someone advised him that when he was older and wanted to start a family, he should not let Liu Qingzong study any more. If he worked together, he would still be able to survive.
But his uncle just smiled and replied: My nephew has been smart and good at reading since he was a child. When he is named on the gold medal list and gets a job as an official, I will talk about getting married.
Others ask, why is this so? Isn’t it hard work?
And his uncle also said nonchalantly: I don't want my nephew to worry about money like my brother and I. Only if I live a free and easy life can I be worthy of the upbringing of my brother and sister-in-law.
And Liu Qingzong was a smart man. He became a scholar early and gradually got to the emperor's side.
But he did not pursue fame, wealth, gold and silver all his life and live freely as his uncle expected. Instead, it was because of his poor background and the various hardships he experienced when he was young that he was indifferent to fame and fortune and unwilling to enjoy it. .
Liu Qingzong's annual salary allowed him to live a decent life in the capital, but he gave 80% of his salary to his uncle in Datong so that his uncle could get married and have children.
And Liu Qingzong himself was about to turn thirty, and he was still alone.
As long as the censor of the Censorship of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is willing, he can immediately marry the daughter of a martial artist or the daughter of a prominent merchant in the capital. His career will be guaranteed and his life will be greatly improved.
But he doesn't yearn for that kind of life.
In his opinion, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
And consistent simplicity is his life creed.
After being poor for a long time, he no longer wants to live a comfortable life.
Liu Qingzong is a pure person.
When you study, study well.
When you are an official, you should also be an official well.
He is the censor.
He is the one who speaks.
It is to point at His Majesty the Emperor and tell His Majesty the injustices in the world without covering up.
However, because of the impeachment of Xu Youzhen and his involvement in the appointment of His Majesty as the heir apparent, his memorial was blacklisted, and his memorial could never reach the emperor's hands again.
He was already detained in the ceremonial prison.
Because of this, he could only tell Li Xian what he knew about the situation.
I want to use Li Xian's hand to help me punish the criminals and give the people a blue sky.
Even though Li Xian's reputation is much better than Xu Youzhen's.
But in Liu Qingzong's view, there is no difference between them.
They are all forming cliques for their own power.
Xu Youzhen was more straightforward and never wanted fame, but Li Xian had done everything and still wanted fame.
This is what Liu Qingzong despises the most.
In his opinion, since Yu Qian left the capital.
There are no more officials like the saints in the entire capital.
He originally wanted to be an official like Yu Qian, but he is not Yu Qian. He does not have Yu Qian's ability to save the fate of the country, nor does he have the opportunity to display his ambitions.
He only knew how to read, and he simply felt that when he became an official, he had to do things for the people. All the high-ranking officials, generous salaries, glory, wealth, and beautiful wives and concubines were all fleeting.
But a pure person like Liu Qingzong can only stand out by fundamentally changing himself in the torrent.
Liu Qingzong silently put away the words on the table, blew out the candles, and then returned to bed to rest.
A night of silence.
The next day, early in the morning, Liu Qingzong left the inn with two followers.
Their destination was not the Inspector General's Office.
After Liu Qingzong left the inn, several people followed the carriage.
At this time, Geng Bingzhong was the envoy.
Also learned about this matter.
He sighed, finally making up his mind.
…………
In an elegant room of a restaurant not far from the official post office, a young man from a wealthy family was drinking and having fun.
There was no color on this young man's face, and he looked like he had been drained by alcohol and sex.
Beside him were two young women.
These two people also exposed their breasts and were having fun with the young man.
And just when the rich man was excited, there was a knock on the door.
A knock on the door was heard.
The young man put down what he was holding, and then said to the two women: "If you don't want to be seen naked, run to the back room quickly..."
After hearing what the young master said, the two young women quickly stood up, picked up their clothes and ran towards the inner room...
The rich man looked at the two women in a panic, laughed loudly, and then shouted to the outside: "Come in..."
The door opens.
A capable man walked in.
After seeing this capable man, the young man's frivolous smile disappeared and turned into a look of impatience.
"You guys are really stupid for finding me so quickly..."
"Young Master, I said, don't mess around at this time. Leave quickly. If you are caught, I can't protect you." This capable man did not take the ridicule of the young master to heart.
After hearing what this man said, the young man became quite angry.
"My lord, I don't care. It's just a trivial matter. I don't believe that this little official, who is as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, dares to search the whole city to find me?"
"Yes, it is difficult for the censor to find you, but if the chief envoy wants to find you, it is very simple."
"Hmph, how can a sixth-grade censor command a third-grade official? Don't scare me here again."
"If these sixth-grade censors come with the emperor's orders, let alone the chief envoy, even His Highness the King of Qin must obey orders. Young Master, Young Master, you can't be so ignorant. If you stay in the city, that's it. Master, you have harmed the hard-working Second Young Master." The capable man said calmly.
"Hmph, why are you sensible but not sensible? The second brother is really capable. He has been on the gold list for a long time. I can hurt him. Let me tell you, don't know the superiority and inferiority of superiors and subordinates. You can't order me."
After hearing this, the capable man sighed and slowly approached the young man.
"Sir, are you leaving? If you don't, I will send you away."
"Send me away, huh, you are so brave, you dare to talk to me like this..." Before the young man could say anything, he saw the capable man take out a dagger from his arms and put it directly at the young man's throat. at.
The sudden change shocked the young man.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"You, what do you mean by sending?"
"Is my father willing to let me die?"
The capable man said coldly: "The people from the capital have told the master that the matter has been brought to the imperial court, so that the young master can be dealt with properly."
"I can't bear to kill my son, so I arranged for you to go to Datong and transfer to Liaodong. But you are too willful, sir. I really have no choice. A family of thirty-two cannot be dragged down by you alone."
"So, I want you to die..."
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving Xi'an City, let me go, let me go..."
"It's too late." After the man finished speaking, he inserted the dagger into the young man's throat, then pulled it out suddenly, and a blood arrow shot out, all spraying on the banquet in front of the young man...
