Minister

93【Seven years of Jiankang】

When Qu Qiujin and Qu Siye heard movement in the front yard, they asked the people around them, "What are you doing in the front yard?"

The person next to him is his own book office: "Master Wei has come in."

Qu Qiujin closed the book silently, went around to look behind the window, and saw two people dressed as students arguing about something, surrounded by a circle of people, I don't know why they were angry, and they didn't leave when they saw the sacrificial wine. The sound is getting louder.

"Who and who is taking the lead?" Qu Qiujin, as the secretary of the industry, is his duty to regulate etiquette, but at this moment he is not going to rescue the little sacrificial wine.

The secretary said in a low voice, "That is the grandson of Mr. Luo, a member of the sect in the temple, named Luo Ying. As for the cloth-clothed one here, I don't even know him. Maybe he came from another province."

Qu Qiujin glanced at Gong Xiang's room, but there was no movement there, probably hiding by the window to watch the excitement.Qu Siye thought to himself that this little sacrificial wine is capable, but he probably won't be long.After all, people from the Hanlin Academy had to go to various ministries, except for those who went to the bachelor's degree all the way. When the time came, they would be promoted, so there was no need for them to make trouble with a junior.What's more, this little sacrificial wine is so incredible that even the water from the Ministry of War went in!It's better to stay away from yourself, don't be used as a gun when you are old.

Gong He didn't think so, and he also meant to hide and wait and see what happened.

Just as Wei Chi entered the courtyard, he saw someone arguing. When he looked up, the room of the two Siye was as quiet as if there was no one there. How could he not know the abacus formula in his heart?I only thought that I had only been in office for three days, and those two were still fooling around. At this moment, it seems that they are really messed up and can't be negligent.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office.In the face of a bunch of corrupt students who are cliques and factions, Wei Chi has no intention of making any adjustments. Letting those who cover up the name of the school for their own interests and draw circles to keep them is not like before. One session of the sacrificial wine is so meticulously managed.Wei Chi, who was as calm as water, came to Guozijian as if he hadn't come, and didn't make any waves.

Wei Chi was about to enter with a book under his arm when he saw a group of people arguing around the door.Because Wei Chi took office after the new year's term started, most people didn't recognize him, they only regarded him as a young student, so they should still make noises, and didn't take it seriously at all.

Wei Chi circled around and asked a red-faced student beside him, "Is that Luo Ying?"

Wei Chi entered the Guozijian like water, but he didn't really decide to be water. He also worked in the court for three years and knew the grievances and hatreds of the three parties.These three gangs of bureaucrats have been messing around for more than 20 years, and there is almost no need to pursue the entanglements. The so-called enemy is my ally. It is almost instinctive to oppose what the other party agrees with and agree with what the other party opposes.Among the top three Jinshi in Wei Chi's class, Geng Bingran's family background is very special, and these people can't win him over. Feng Lin, who is in the same department, is dedicated to learning, and comes from an orthodox Hanlin family. He is the oldest and has passed away long ago. When you are impetuous, you don't buy the account of the three parties at all.There was only little Wei Chi left, and the three parties were making up their minds, but King Yan suddenly appeared, and the fat meat they wanted to get now would be useless.Wei Chi has been with King Yan for several years, and he has seen the situation of the court in a calm manner. Now it is almost impossible to fool him.The three parties know that Wei Chi is difficult to win over, so they are more cautious. The leader of the Chu party is Zhang Yinzhi, and he is a little arrogant in his bones. Simple, it should have been eaten long ago, no matter how much anyone protects it, it will not be able to stay until now...

The red-faced student didn't even look back: "Yes!"

"Is that the freshman Wei Qingfeng from Fujian Island?"

"Yes!"

Wei Chi signaled to the donor beside him not to speak.

Wei Chi listened for a while before he understood what this group of people were arguing about. The skinny and dark freshman Wei Qingfeng took a turn today and stood at the entrance of the courtyard to straighten the clothes and hats of the students.Although that Luo Ying came from a good background, she was a well-behaved and honest person. She tidied herself neatly from head to toe, and the green cotton shirt was also sent by the Imperial College, so she shouldn't be stopped.What's annoying is that his book boy somehow got a new hat, so he just put it on for himself today.Wei Qingfeng immediately stopped him when he saw him, Mr. Luo is really honest, he didn't get angry when he was blocked by such a bumpkin junior, he just ordered his own people to change their hats.Unexpectedly, this Wei Qingfeng still took the record book and wanted to come over to list his name. The people in the company felt that there was no need to be so harsh, and they started to make a scene.Wei Qingfeng's equivalent value was Yan Peiwei, who came from a scholarly family, and he was also persuading the black-faced man, pulling him to keep him from causing trouble.

Wei Chi stayed in the academy most of his life, and such quarrels were common.It's just that this incident is common in ordinary academies, and rare in Guozijian - Guozijian has serious party factions, and quarrels are almost party disputes. It is really rare for these few people without party and affiliation to quarrel like this.

Wei Qingfeng is dry but full of energy, and his words are well-founded, which makes it difficult to refute.Wei Chi listened and recalled his entrance examination results, remembering that he was very low, thinking that this person is a talker.

At the end of the fight, someone came to snatch the record book from Wei Qingfeng's hand, but Wei Qingfeng was very stubborn and didn't let go.Yan Peiwei was afraid that he would suffer, so while blocking the snatchers, he secretly persuaded Wei Qingfeng to let go.The crowd was commotion, and suddenly someone clapped their hands outside. After a few slaps, a boy's voice said slowly: "We will fight later, the class is about to start."

Sure enough, just after the words were finished, the bell for entering the room was already ringing, and the class would officially begin in a moment.If you do not take your seat at that time, you will be late, and the penalty for being late will be heavy.The crowd relaxed a few times, and many onlookers began to withdraw.Only then did a few discerning people recognize Wei Chi: "Wei... Wei Jijiu."

How many Wei Jijiu are there in Guozijian?The crowd completely loosened up, and irrelevant people hurried out of the way.Wei Chi didn't say much, but just walked in along the crowd. The two groups of people in Renwozi's heart still glared at each other, but everyone's attitude softened obviously.Wei Chi stepped forward and patted the hand holding the record book lightly: "You are Luo Ying's friend, why do it?" Why bother? I don't know how it took me two days to recognize myself after the sacrificial wine came, so I hurriedly got caught by this slap let go.

"Go to class." Wei Chi smiled.

Why do you have to do it now? No matter how angry you are, you can't vent your anger. You blushed and smiled.Luo Ying hurriedly saluted Wei Chi, and pulled He Bigan into the courtyard gate.After leaving the victim, the sacrificial wine came again, and everyone hurriedly dispersed.Before the clock was knocked, they all ran in.

Wei Chi wanted to take the record book, but when he pulled it, he realized that Wei Qingfeng had no intention of letting go.Wei Chi also patted the back of his hand lightly, Wei Qingfeng remained motionless, Yan Peiwei was sweating in anxiety, and hurriedly said: "Wei Jijiu, student, this classmate is upright by nature, not to offend Jijiu..." Turning around, he persuaded Wei Qingfeng fiercely: "Fengzhu! Don't be rude!"

Wei Qingfeng sneered, let go, and bowed: "The student has a question."

Wei Chi took the record book in his hand: "But it's okay to ask."

"The Prince's school clearly stipulates that those who do not wear the regulations and hats in the school will be demerited from the registration, and the slaves will be guilty of this. The students asked, should they be registered this time?!"

Wei Chi smiled and said, "Does the school regulations say how to record?"

"...What is the reason for saying this about offering wine? There are paper and pens, and there are students on duty, so it is naturally recorded like this."

Wei Chi shook his head: "Go to class, come to me after class, and I will teach you how to record."

After finishing speaking, he handed the record book to the donor behind him, turned around and entered the compound.He lifted his foot and passed the threshold, when he suddenly heard the voice of the person behind him say: "The ancients said, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world! The Taixue with only three thousand students can't cultivate themselves according to the clear law, let alone [-] students." Do all the people know the etiquette and abide by the law?"

After hearing this, Wei Chi turned his head and smiled, stopped lingering, and went straight to his living room.

Entering the living room, She Zong leaned over and laughed and said: "That man is a country bumpkin, he has never seen the world, sir, please don't be as knowledgeable as him..."

Wei Chi didn't start a conversation, but just asked: "Which doctors are there this morning, and which courses are they going to take? From now on, you will have to record the courses for every master before class, have you written it down?"

She gave up the donation but only promised, and withdrew.

Wei Chi took a sip of tea, carefully thought over the past few days, and began to write a letter to his teacher, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, Cai Boen.

Once every three days in the early morning, Chen Xing counted and estimated that Wang Yunyi would arrive in Beijing in three rounds, and the officials of Taichang Temple were busy preparing.Compared with the previous King Qin, the preparations this time had to be more careful, not daring to make a single mistake, even the waiters from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War came to test his intentions.Chen Xing was very distressed. This distress was not caused by everyone's temptation, but that this matter could not be determined by his own attitude.

Wang Yunyi, this man of great achievements, the Wang family, a legendary family for a lifetime.How many people have to guess what it means to cater to them?If this is not the case, why did the court secretly arrange for King Qin and Wang Yunyi to pass each other?In fact, even Chen Xing himself figured it out. The 20-year-old royal hero Chen Su was not Wang Yunyi's opponent, not even himself. Micro sand.

This emperor father left a minister of his country, he can't use it, he can't use it all, he must use it with caution...

That's why he put aside his previous suspicions and married the Wang family's daughter as the queen, but so what?Can the weight of a woman give the huge Wang family peace of mind?Could it be that these old foxes can't tell the difference between false fame and actual profit?

Those who came back from Fengyi have already returned to the border. That little Wei Chi took the advantage of the three-party dispute as sacrificial wine, but since ancient times, the sacrificial wine has been from a university. This official rank is not particularly high, but the position is very important. special.Wei Chi was born as a Jinshi, and he was not qualified to count the two years in the Imperial Academy.Can he hold on?Chen Xing drew a circle on Wang Yunyi's name, wrote the character Wei next to it, thought for a while and added the character Geng, smiled and shook his head after adding it, and crossed out the character.

"Hui'er, who is Wei Chi's teacher?"

Huier was stacking books, thought for a while and said: "If you go back to the emperor, it will be Cai Boen from the Ministry of Rites."

"Who introduced him to Cai Boen?"

"If you go back to the emperor, we will not know about this, but Mr. Wei is an orphan, and he has never heard of any relatives. Do you want to send someone to investigate?"

"No need," Chen Yan wrote Geng next to the word Wei: "Is King Yan still in contact with Wei Chi recently?"

"That's not true. King Yan seems to be ill recently."

"I'm sick again!" Chen Yan snorted coldly: "Hui'er, do you think Wei Chi can defeat the three parties and stand firm in the Imperial College?"

"If you go back to the emperor, what the emperor said is two different things. Is it about being able to defeat the three parties? Or is it about being able to stabilize the Imperial Academy?"

"Oh? Isn't it the same thing?" Chen Yan asked with interest.

"Naturally, it's two different things. How big is the Three Clans? How can Wei Chi defeat them by himself? But if we talk about establishing the Imperial Academy and working hard for the adults, it's still possible. But the slaves don't understand that since the Emperor wants people to break the Three Clans, Why don't you send someone who is older and more powerful? After all, Mr. Wei has little qualifications, and he can't compete with me."

"Haha," Chen Yan said with a smile, "why don't I think so? But the Taifu thinks that Wei Chi can do something. What's more... I just want to send someone with senior experience... but I can get in What? I'm afraid I'll be stopped before I go. What's more, there are powerful enemies outside, and important ministers and party members in the court. Such entanglements are really inappropriate to go to war. What the Tai Tuo means is to draw the salary from the bottom of the pot and let Wei Chi go to supervise the Guozijian Well, it’s hard for the three parties to say anything, I’m afraid Wang Yunyi can’t say anything, but he is not a nerd but a person who knows how to do things. This will definitely change the look of the Guozijian. I think the people used by my court are from clean backgrounds. These people in the future have done it I'm afraid the officials can make the court clean."

"Master Wei has no party or affiliation, but Mr. Wei's teacher, Cai Boen, is a member of the Zhejiang Party. It is hard to prevent Mr. Wei from having such thoughts."

Chen Xing added the word Cai next to the word Wei: "Cai Boen is old, it was strange for him to accept Wei Chi as a student back then, Feng Lin was his student, why did he accept Wei Chi again? He's hanging out with King Yan, what do you think this old Cai thinks of Wei Chi?"

Hui'er didn't understand what it meant either.

"Then what did Wei Chi think of Cai Boen?"

An old man with high academic qualifications, his favorite student Feng Lin has no party and no affiliation, and he took in Wei Chi, who has no party and no affiliation, and then he resigned and returned to his hometown.After these two students entered the official career, it seemed that he never said a word or did a thing for them.

But Chen Hao seemed to be able to imagine that Cai Boen must have explained something to them before leaving.

'No party. '

Will it be this sentence?So Feng Lin's own father is from the Zhejiang Party, and his teacher is from the Zhejiang Party, but he studies books honestly and does not join the party.Therefore, Wei Chi would rather be with King Yan without knowing it than to form a party.

Chen Xing sighed deeply, could it be that this old man has worked so hard because he is sure that these two people will make a difference in the future?Wei Chi, Feng Lin...it doesn't look like any of them.

Chen Yan suddenly laughed: "You said King Yan is sick again? You didn't forget to give this to me when you were sick!"

Chen Xing picked up a thin memorabilia and showed it to Hui'er, and Hui'er also laughed when she saw it: "If you go back to the emperor, this servant feels that His Royal Highness Yan Wang is really moved."

Wei Chi has already arrived at the Guozijian, and he can no longer live in the Imperial Academy.He has entered the Qingshui Yamen for the past two years, and his savings will not exceed 500 taels. Now that he has been kicked out by the Imperial Academy, where will he live?So His Royal Highness King Yan began to worry about his little lover's official residence.

"It can only be allowed," Chen Yan said, "but you can't use the name of King Yan. Wei Chi is going to clean up the Guozijian now, and you still have to get a reputation. Since Yuxiang has so much meaning, let the inner court reward him with money." , I will give you my name."

Hui'er puffed her cheeks and said, "Then King Yan must be so sad?" After she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

"Well, I'm going to be sad. After being ordered by my little lover, I kicked him again... Tsk, my brother really has a bumpy road to love."

The inner court is worrying about Wei Chi, a person who is inseparable from the Chen family.As far as the hunt was concerned, that Chen Jingtai had nothing to sing about, and the inexplicable appearance of Wei might have made the imperial concubine furious.Concubine Toffee now regrets that she added a name to it in a single thought, ruining her daughter's happiness for the rest of her life.

Concubine Geng didn't care so much, Wei Chi's reputation in her heart was not that bad, as for how many rumors among the court?Doesn't that stop at the wise?Geng Bingran didn't believe Wei Chi and King Yan's deeds, and naturally the rest of the Geng family didn't quite believe either.Years ago, Concubine Geng knew that Geng Bingran and his wife wanted to marry Wei Chi, and she also talked about the child who dared to go out on the battlefield at a young age. She is a good boy with skills, so she naturally agreed.If Concubine Hu Guifei hadn't come here to kick her, she would probably be arranging Yunmei and Wei Chi's marriage by now.She thinks that Wei Chi is good, but how can a royal marriage be done just by being good?It is one thing to have a destiny, and another thing to have a share.

The concubine was just talking about King Yan, and she was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet: "Sister, why did my sister forget about this little beast? I remembered this a long time ago, and I would never invite that Wei Chi here."

Concubine Geng thought that the court situation was not something that the women in the inner palace could guess at will, but said: "King Yan is not young, he will be in his twenties this year, it's time to get married."

Before King Yan was ten years old, he was raised by the imperial concubine. At that time, Chen Xun had already given it to the then "Queen Wang", and there were two children of Chen Xing and Chen Su under his knees.At that time, Chen Su was only a few months old, and he had been with Chen Ang for five years. The two little brothers were very naughty when they were young, and most of the disasters in the palace were caused by Chen Ang leading Chen Su.Chen Ang was a ghost when he was a child. His mother and concubine never cared about him. He seemed to dislike the arrogant and extraordinary 'Queen Wang' very much, and caused a lot of trouble intentionally or unintentionally.Sometimes the disaster is too big, and the empress dowager can't get rid of her face, so she has no choice but to pick up her mother's prestige, pick up the wattle and beat her up.

In the end, Chen Ang couldn't stand the beating anymore, and cried: "I hate that woman, she always plays tricks on my mother and concubine." '

This mother concubine refers to the imperial concubine. She knows that the child's heart is toward her, so her heart is toward him all these years.Otherwise, Chen Ang would not be able to leave the palace and establish his own family, nor would he be able to survive the purge after the new emperor ascended the throne.

"I can't let him go anymore! I'm going to find him a wife this year! What is that Wei Chi? Don't let him have anything to do with our Chen family! What kind of goblin!?" The imperial concubine cried sadly, She wiped her face: "Queen, that Wei Chi cannot be included in the list for the Spring Festival, please keep him away from our Chen family!"

Queen Wang was about to speak, but Concubine Geng secretly gave her a wink.

"It's been so many years, and I'm still impatient! I have to say something, that Wei Chi is not a dishonest person, I'm afraid that the prince Chen Ang's temper has not changed all year round! He will do whatever he likes!"

When the imperial concubine calmed down, the empress Wang smiled and said: "The princess is not tempted yet, and the concubine mother is in a hurry. Mr. Wei is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and this year he is serving as a sacrificial wine. No matter what, we must invite him." Yes, if you really don't invite him, he will lose face, and neither will we."

The three of them wanted to discuss again, when suddenly a servant sang an announcement: "Concubine Hu Gui came to say hello."

The imperial concubine wiped away her tears: "Stop talking, there will be opportunities to deal with that little beast in the future, don't let outsiders see the joke."

Concubine Geng laughed at her: "It's only now that I realize that I can't let the younger generation see jokes?" Turning around, she asked the palace maid to take a fourth-grade box to replenish her powder: "The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, so let's not worry about it!"

Wei Chi finished his work in the morning and was about to take a rest. When he looked up, he saw a dark man standing next to the lunch deliverer.

"Come in." Wei Chi stood up and washed his hands.

She donated one side of cloth rice and one side whitened the 'black bamboo pole' around him.

Wei Chi asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

'Black Bamboo Pole' didn't appreciate it: "Students, please enlighten me with offering wine."

Wei Chi sighed: "Sit down and eat."

'Black bamboo pole' ignored.

Wei Chi sighed: "Your meal money is deducted from my salary, not public expenses. I still have some face for treating students to a meal, right?" After that, he walked to the window: "You come in and eat together."

Yan Peiwei was huddling behind a crabapple tree, but it was spring, and the tree didn't have a few leaves, so it was clear at a glance when he poked his head around.

Yan Peiwei walked over dejectedly: "Sacrifice wine to forgive sins."

"No one is guilty, come in, I'm treating you today." Turning back to the donor, he said, "It's time for you to eat, hurry up and eat, you don't need to be busy here."

"Don't be cautious," Wei Chi also invited Yan Peiwei to take a seat: "In terms of seniority, I am a teacher, but in terms of age, I am not far behind you."

Yan Peiwei saluted silently, and 'Black Bamboo Pole' asked: "Master Jijiu, the students want to learn how to record in this record book, please don't forget after dinner, Mr. Jijiu."

Wei Chi said with a smile: "There is no wine for this meal, are you afraid that I will get drunk and renege on my debt?"

Yan Peiwei couldn't hold back, and secretly smiled.

Wei Chi said: "Don't laugh, your good friend is not a deadhead, he is very smart!"

"It's just...do you know how to sell fish?" Wei Chi asked Wei Qingfeng.

Wei Qingfeng looked at the fish fillet on the tip of Wei Chi's chopsticks, and understood what he was going to say: "The meaning of offering wine is that you don't need to record what happened in the morning?"

Wei Chi saw that he understood but still said: "Since Fengzhu knows that no fish seller is capable of wringing out the fish and selling it, why bother to do the impossible?"

"As the sacrificial wine said, there is no fairness among the people in the world? Isn't the morality and etiquette learned empty talk? There are so many clauses in the world, why do they always restrain the common people? At least, if the nobles of the official family commit crimes and sell fish, is it fair to buy it with some water?"

"It's not fair, it's a pity that you squeezed out the water?" Wei Chi put down the fish fillets.

"If you don't screw it, don't you screw it?" Wei Qingfeng laughed: "My lord is still afraid of the three parties. I usually hear from my classmates that I write articles on the battlefield, but when it comes to this battle between officials, my lord is still afraid of the three parties." Do you want to protect yourself first?"

Yan Peiwei was so anxious that his chopsticks were shaking, Wei Chi saw him pulling down the sleeve of the 'Black Bamboo Pole' on the table.

Wei Chi smiled and said, "Why should I come here to protect myself?" Wei Chi knocked on the edge of the bowl: "You can't wring this fish, but you can't say that I can't wring it dry either. , to ensure that there is not a single drop of water left, is Feng Zhu willing to wait for the dried fish?"

Wei Qingfeng was startled by the sudden gasp on Wei Chi's face, and was speechless for a moment.

Wei Chi stood up, took the record book and put it on the table, gently stroked the cover: "Are you willing to help me?"

Yan Peiwei was still in a daze, but Wei Qingfeng had already stood up: "The students are willing to do their best."

Yan Peiwei also stood up quickly: "Students are not talented. If Taixue can regain its glory, the sacrifice of wine is useful for students, and students will definitely not refuse!"

Wei Chi looked back at the two young students again, and when he smiled again, he was like a spring breeze: "...You two, what you have to help is to be safe, study hard, and then open your eyes and wait carefully. Watch!"

The author has something to say: Wei Chi's two students appeared...

Xiaoyan is okay, in her early twenties, normal age

Heizhugan is in his early thirties... The guy who didn't do well in the exam...

The two students are both older than him, which is... so interesting.

The king of Yan has acted like a spoiled child for so many years, and the imperial concubine must think that Wei Chi is a vixen... If Wei Chi knows, he will probably be scratching his head with injustice.

King Yan is the biggest fox in Qi!Flip the table!

Well, 77g is coming soon, Uncle Wang is coming soon, the emperor is not steady...

Be steady, Your Majesty... touch a
