Something big is going to happen in Qufu!

The commander of the capital department in Peking, Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the imperial guard department of the Prince of Yan, went crazy!

Under the watchful eyes of Shandong Dao Sansi Yamen officials, more than 10,000 frontier cavalrymen rolled up clouds of dust and smoke toward Qufu City in the southwest.

The entire Shandong Province officials finally panicked.

"What is he going to do!"

"What on earth is he going to do!"

The Shandong Daodu commander, who had been ill at home for a long time, turned red and tense, gritted his teeth, and kept beating his chest and feet. He showed no signs of illness and roared filial piety to the cavalry army that had gone away and gradually disappeared from sight.

The commander of the Shandong Province, Bao Xiao, roared angrily for a long time, then spit out the dust he had eaten, and turned to look at other Shandong Province officials: "Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't know if there are any rebels in Qufu! He is waving his hands now

The army marched south to Qufu, did he want to rebel?"

"Is he going to rebel?" An official from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen snorted coldly: "Didn't Du Si hear that? What he said was that there were rebels in Qufu, and he wanted to lead troops to protect Qufu.

"?"

After this person finished speaking, he didn't even believe it at all, with a trace of ridicule on his face.

After these more than 10,000 frontier troops went south, they were constantly being watched from up and down the Shandong Road. What news could Zhang Zhiyuan get?

Suddenly today, something happened. A traitor appeared in Qufu with the intention of attacking the saint's family.

It is obvious that Zhang Zhiyuan is looking for an excuse to leave here with his troops and horses and go to Qufu to pressure him.

"What should we do now? Are we just going to let Zhang Zhiyuan act like this in Shandong Road? Is he really going to cause chaos in Shandong Road?"

The commander of Shandong Daodu was still filled with anger, but he was helpless towards Zhang Zhiyuan, who had the imperial mandate.

He was quite dissatisfied: "Zhang Zhiyuan holds the decree, but even I, the governor of Shandong Province, don't look down on him. Control the troops and horses of Shandong Province! Who can control him?"

"Let's write a letter to Qufu and explain today's situation. The rest can only be solved by Qufu. Zhang Zhiyuan has thousands of troops. He really dares to risk the disapproval of the world and make a mess.

Something is coming?"

The chief envoy of Shandong Province spoke coldly, with a gloomy look on his face and a particularly bad mood.

The inspector on the side said: "Should we also write down a memorial and submit it to Yingtian, so that the court can know that Zhang Zhiyuan led his troops south to Shandong and failed to suppress the rebellion for a long time. As a result, rebellions are everywhere in Shandong Province and are likely to multiply?"

"This statement is feasible. Let's call all the people in the government offices to submit a letter to heaven."

The Chief Envoy of Shandong Province felt a little bored, and without saying a word, he clasped his hands in his arms, turned around and led the Chief Envoy Si Yamen's people back to the city.

The remaining people also no longer want to stay in this place that has been deserted for a long time. There is nothing but the dust that is filled with dust that is unwilling to fall.

……

"Henan Road Dading!"

"Henan Road Dading!"

"A great victory for the imperial court!"

"A great victory for the imperial court!"

Another early morning, starting from Baihu Street, a young Xinxue Guanzheng Jinshi, who had replaced the former governor of Si Yamen, rushed to the imperial city shouting loudly about the news about the army and horses he had just received.

This is a good military intelligence report. No imperial officers and soldiers guarding the imperial city dare to step forward to stop it.

The young new governor ran quickly, passed through many palace gates, and headed towards Wenyuan Pavilion.

This is not a routine procedure, but since Henan Road did not use troops and horses to report victory, but chose to have the local government submit a memorial to report victory, it is natural to ignore the matter of going directly to the Holy Palace and go to Wenyuan Pavilion instead.<

/p>

At this time, in Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin was doing his daily work step by step.

Bai Yuxiu, who had already been appointed as an official in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, moved a stool unreasonably and sat in front of her husband.

"The students in Henan Province have made arrangements for the petition to fill the official vacancies. Among the ten people, six are my disciples of Xinxue. They have all taken public examination papers in the book and newspaper bureau. The students, together with Sun Qingshu and Hu Wenhai

After being reviewed by others, they all listed names and arranged for official vacancies based on their respective strengths and intentions."

Bai Yuxiu whispered about the things she had been doing in the Literature and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs these days. During this period, she looked at her husband from time to time, paying attention to the changes in his face.

He continued softly: "As for the remaining 40% of elected officials, they have not taken public examination papers. Students and others think that it is better not to make any noise at this time. For official vacancies, they have also gone through the Literary and Selection Department.

, there are also important positions in official positions.

According to His Highness's wishes, Henan Road, as the hinterland of the Central Plains, is known as a thoroughfare and connects the north and the south, so it should be settled earlier. Once His Highness puts down the rebellion in Henan Road, the imperial court will carry out reforms in Henan Road with great fanfare.

When my disciples of Xinxue are around, things can be done more smoothly."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yuxiu coughed slightly, and a pill that nourished and soothed the throat under her tongue exuded a refreshing fragrance.

However, Xie Jin tapped the table and looked blankly at the rising star of Xinxue, who had high hopes for His Highness: "Don't talk about them and us in the future. We are all serving as officials in the court. Which one is them and which one is us? They are both.

Those who run errands for the emperor and do things for the people."

When Xie Jin said this, he put his hands together into fists and raised them towards the palace.

Bai Yuxiu straightened her chest and lowered her head: "It's student Meng Lang."

Xie Jin snorted: "After the settlement of Henan Province is completed, the people in the imperial court who are watching the government will have to get rid of Liuqi. Those who have failed to pass the examination for a long time should also have a good look at it. The imperial court is now the first to employ people.

Now, what if it’s just a matter of recruiting people? If you can’t be an elected county magistrate, how can you still be unable to do the errands of county magistrate, county bookkeeper, and magistrate?”

The expression on Bai Yuxiu's face flashed slightly, with some hesitation.

"I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Xie Jin snorted coldly: "Are they unwilling to condescend to others? They have a certain respect for others! If they are not even willing to do this, then they have not really understood the unity of knowledge and action.

The principle is useless, it is better to remove the impurities and retain the essence. The days ahead are still long, and it is enough for Ming Dynasty to move in a better and better direction."

Bai Yuxiu thought for a while, and it was probably as the teacher said.

He nodded and said, "Perhaps, Master Zhang should be involved?"

Jie Jin was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at the student in front of him, his brows gradually widened: "Just do it, how can you know anything if you don't try it."

Bai Yuxiu let out a sigh of relief.

Although when I am with my husband, I will always feel as insignificant as an ant, but my husband will always take the trouble to remind me that words and deeds can only go so far.

I originally tried to make a clear distinction between psychology and Neo-Confucianism, but I forgot that the Ming Dynasty court can only be His Majesty's court, without any influence.

So I mentioned Master Zhang who was promoted from a craftsman status to an official status. I wanted to use him as a reference, so that those people who have never passed the two rankings of Jinshi can also put aside their prejudices and be less so-called.

The idea of ​​​​condescending and condescending, start from a county magistrate, a county bookkeeper, and a magistrate.

Sir, just a word, if you think of it, try it.

White cat or black cat, if it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

In Bai Yuxiu's mind, she recalled what His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun said in the newspaper office.

Thinking of the emperor's grandson, Bai Yuxiu also thought of Henan Road, which she had not received news from for a long time.

He said: "Sir, the rebellion in Henan Road should be put down, right?"

Xie Jin smiled slightly: "The rebellion in Henan Province will be put down."

Bai Yuxiu nodded and stopped talking.

At this time, a burst of shouting came from outside the hall.

"Great victory on Henan Road!"

"The rebellion in Henan Province was put down!"

The sound grew louder and louder from far to near, and the whole process was filled with joy.

Bai Yuxiu discerned keenly that this was the young junior who had replaced him as the governor of the General Affairs Office and Yamen.

By the time Bai Yuxiu stood up, the young new governor was already sweating profusely and running in panting.

"He... Henan..."

The young governor suddenly paused, swallowed, bowed his hands and said: "The student has met the teacher, and has met the senior."

Jie Jin nodded and said nothing, but the palms on his legs under the table were clenched tightly into fists, but they were not revealed in front of the students.

Bai Yuxiu glanced at the young junior, walked aside with a smile, poured a cup of herbal tea, and brought it to the junior: "Drink some water first, moisten your throat before talking."

The young governor nodded crisply, drank the herbal tea in one gulp, waved his sleeves and wiped his mouth, then said: "Sir, senior, the rebellion in Henan Province has been put down! A great victory in Henan Province! The Emperor Taisun led the army and personally charged into battle dozens of times.

, we won the name of 100,000 enemies under Kaifeng City and conquered Henan with all our strength!"

One hundred thousand enemies?

In front of her husband and junior students, Bai Yuxiu always looked more calm and relaxed than in the literary anthology company's office, with her head tilted and a weird smile on her face.

There are probably not that many rebels in the entire Henan Province. This reputation of one hundred thousand enemies has probably been exaggerated a lot.

However, Bai Yuxiu is happy to see the success.

He looked sideways at the gentleman over there.

After hearing the good news of Henan Province's victory, Xie Jin was excited, but he already frowned: "Why is it that the general affairs envoy came to report the victory, instead of the Henan Province army and horses?"
