Song Wen mung bean sprouts "career" is in full swing.

Except for what I and Ah Mian ate, all the rest was sent to the General's Mansion, but it was to pay off the debt - when did the 300 taels be paid off, and when Song Wen would not give it away.

Ah Mian: "..."

It's really the first time I know my young master—he's a scoundrel!

However, on this morning when Song Wen was not qualified to go, a certain censor ruthlessly read a book for him.The way is that since Song Wen took office, he has been idle all day, eating nothing, and the yamen has been tossed in a miasma, ignoring his duties.What's more, as a civil servant, he blatantly formed cliques and colluded with military officials.

The censor visited Song Wen, and did not forget to look directly at Xiao Lue, for fear that others would not know who the military officer mentioned in his memorial was.

It is true that not everyone in the court pays so much attention to Song Wen, that is, a number one scholar. Before that, he went out of his way to gain the reputation of the court. The number one scholar's robe and official hat that he put on so hard were thrown away as soon as he lost them, and he was looking for a life. , because the court really didn't like Song Wen very much.

Later I heard that he was picked up by General Xiao Lue, so he saved his life.This news is also known individually.Most of the people still heard about Song Wen after Song Wen quietly occupied the position of Chang'an county magistrate.But at this time, the emperor had already issued the order, so he didn't pay much attention. At most, a few people stared at the position of the county magistrate of Chang'an and gritted their teeth.

At this moment, a certain censor came to the Song Dynasty to ask questions, and even involved Xiao Lue, the atmosphere in the court hall became weird.

Who doesn't know that Xiao Lue is now in the position of holy favor, not to mention that the emperor has some affection because of his status as the only son of his own brother, and more importantly, since Xiao Lue fifteenth, he has guarded the border. After many years of hard work, the neighboring countries dare not Stretch out your paws, and give gifts to the court every year, this is worthy of the emperor's preference.

What's more, the Empress Dowager is still here, when the Prince rebelled, he also hated the Empress Dowager, but the child is innocent, and as he grows up, he always thinks that he is the only son left by Xiao Er, so he has a lot of love and affection.

I'm afraid this censor is crazy.

Anyway, the way the courtier looked at him fully expressed this meaning.

There are also a few people who have the same brain circuit as this censor, and they agree on the spot, saying that Song Wen will cover it with a cloth towel every day, dragging a four-square thing to the general's mansion, it is presumed that it is undoubtedly gold and silver!

"Your Majesty, Song Wen came from a peasant family. In order to seek fame, he is the only one left in the family. However, he has been able to take out so much gold and silver and send it to the General's Mansion in less than ten days since he took office. You can see who he is! Your Majesty, please be careful! "

The emperor had already begun to wonder how this man was a Shangguan.However, as usual, he asked the person concerned impartially: "Xiao Aiqing, can you tell me what Song Wen gave you?"

"I report to the emperor, it's mung bean sprouts." Xiao Lue bowed and saluted, and explained, afraid that the courtiers would not know what it was, "it's sprouted mung beans."

"nonsense!"

A certain censor jumped up and reprimanded, "How can the germinated mung beans be covered with a cloth towel, and can they continue to grow? General Xiao used this to deceive the emperor about such things that a three-year-old child knows! What's more, the general's mansion wants to What’s wrong, you need a Chang’an county magistrate to deliver germinated mung beans every day?”

"Since my General's Mansion has everything, why does Song Wen send gold and silver every day!" Xiao Lue said with a half-smile.

"You!" A certain censor jumped angrily.

The emperor was too lazy to listen to the censor, who was just looking for trouble, and he had already finished what he needed to say, so he simply said: "We will wait for the big court in a few days, and Song Wen will go to the court. What's wrong then, just ask in person. That's fine. Let's all retreat."

A certain censor was annoyed, so the emperor also favored Song Wen.Even though he hated him, he could only salute and retreat.

In the next few days, the news about Song Wen's being enlisted in the court spread to the outside world. Even the people in Chang'an talked about it. Even Ah Mian, who was out in charge of shopping, felt that everyone looked at him differently.

Guo Kaitong, the county magistrate, also mentioned to Song Wen that he asked Song Wen to take care of the affairs of the yamen, so as not to be slandered and ruin the reputation of the yamen.

Song asked with a smile: "Master Guo, did Zi accuse me of not handling political affairs? Since I arrived at the county government, I have allocated related affairs. Now, if I remember correctly, Lord Guo has full power over the matters discussed by the people. It's the right way to deal with it. Why, Mr. Guo is not capable enough, can't you do it? It doesn't matter if you can't do it. When I have time, I will call Mr. Hu together. I will discuss with him and help Mr. Guo share some of the burden. All work in the yamen , Mr. Guo can't do anything, just tell me directly, I will naturally understand."

To your mother's understanding.

Guo Kaitongrao has always shown his modest face to others, but now he is almost distorted.This mouth, is it worthy of being the number one scholar? First, he scolded him for his incompetence, and then he was very busy, showing a difference, so he pulled Hu Lin along, and said in front of him that he couldn't do it, and gave up the rights!

Guo Kaitong originally wanted to get the tax back, but now, not only did he not get it back, he actually wanted to share some more!

But Song Wen was the county magistrate, and he was Guo Kaitong's immediate boss. After he said so, Guo Kaitong could only grit his teeth, say goodbye and leave in a hurry.But in the end, he couldn't swallow this breath, and was planning how to tear Song Wen from that position in his stomach.

As a result, among the common people, Song Wen's reputation became even worse.

This made Ah Mian not to go out.But if he doesn't go out, it doesn't have much impact. At most, there are only vegetarian dishes every day, and there are no meat dishes for the time being.By the way, in the vegetable field that Song Wen opened in the back, those fast-growing leafy vegetables are already edible, and the smaller ones are delicious when they are tender and hot, and they can be eaten with mung bean sprouts to some extent.

Naturally, Song Wen didn't give away the mung bean sprouts from the General's Mansion.He didn't care, the main reason was that Amian didn't want him to send him off, fearing that he would be blocked by the people of Chang'an City when he went out.He didn't want Amian to be worried, so he agreed and stayed in the yamen all day long.In fact, except for the first time, he sent it by himself, and then he sent it for a day or two, and it was usually sent by Ah Mian.

"Master, are we going to be okay?" Amian worried.

Song asked if the old god was there: "It's better to have something to do."

Ah Mian: "..."

Soon the time of the court came, Ah Mian woke up early in the morning to help wake up her worrying young master, and let him drink some rice porridge that had been cooked earlier.

"It's said that rice porridge nourishes people, if the young master never comes back, at least he'll eat something expensive before he dies." Amian worried.

Song asked: "..."

At any rate, he left the yamen early, but Song Wen didn't go directly to the imperial city, instead, he walked towards the general's mansion. It's time to go out in the morning.

"Lord Xiao, what a coincidence, why don't you go along the way?" Song Wen smiled shyly.

The guards at the General's Mansion simply couldn't see him, his own general rode a horse, Song asked how could a man on two legs walk together?What's more, coming from the yamen side, you have to cross two streets, and it will take a quarter of an hour to walk faster, so it's easy.

Xiao Lue didn't say a word, and only asked people to prepare a soft sedan chair.

Song Wen sat in the sedan chair, while Xiao Lue rode forward side by side.Song Wen felt fresh sitting in the sedan chair, thinking that Xiao Lue was riding beside him, wouldn't he be the prince's knight?When he opened the sedan chair curtain and looked towards Xiao Lue, he found that with Xiao Lue's figure, if he hadn't had a sedan chair, he would have been portrayed as a prisoner under escort.

Along the way, he suddenly lost interest in speaking.Apart from political affairs, Xiao Lue is usually not talkative.The two of them entered the imperial city silently all the way.

Song Wen went to court under the scrutiny of many people. After the audience, a certain censor first mentioned that Song Wen was not qualified for the post of county magistrate, and even made friends with military officials blatantly, with ulterior motives.

After the censor finished speaking, all the courtiers waited for Song Wen's response.

I saw Song Wen took out a memorial from his bosom, held it high above his head, walked quickly to the side of Yushi, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, and said, "I want to report to the emperor, although the lower officials told the lord Yushi that they colluded with General Xiao I have a clear conscience about this matter, but I am deeply unworthy of the post of county magistrate. Therefore, in the past few days, I have learned from the pain and decided to resign from the emperor. I really have failed the expectations of the emperor and General Xiao, and I cannot afford it. The post of Chang'an county magistrate. I hope the emperor will help me!"

emperor:"……"

A censor: "..."

Officials who usually rely on the old to sell the old and want to sue the old and return to their hometowns: "..."

Xiao Lue: Murderous eyes cast on a certain censor.

A certain censor felt a chill down his spine, turned his head secretly, and met Xiao Lue's sharp gaze like a sword.

The emperor and the emperor took a while to find themselves, coughed lightly, and said kindly: "Since Aiqing has a clear conscience, why bother to resign. As for Aiqing saying that she is not worthy of a big responsibility, it is really too modest. Aiqing is gold Ke champion, if you can’t even be the county magistrate of Chang’an, who else can say that he is capable?! Aiqing should take back the paper, I just treat Aiqing as unbearable to gossip, reckless, and will not be held accountable!”

Xiao Lue silently nodded to the emperor, and then cast a murderous look at a certain censor.

The censor was almost on his back, and now he finally regretted it.Why did he ask Song Song after hearing so few gossips?This matter was so lively that no one else made a move, so they just participated in it by themselves.At this moment he finally felt something was wrong!

After the emperor said so, Song Wen would also look at his face, so he could only pretend to be reluctant and stuffed the memorial into his arms.For other officials, this is a very serious matter. Just resign like this, and it will be settled. It's a joke!

A certain censor also seemed to be dumb, and didn't say any more.

Another person stood up in the middle of the court and said: "Your Majesty, since the imperial censor Shen Song asked to send gold and silver to General Xiao, and he did not do anything in the yamen, he must explain it. Recently, this incident has caused a lot of trouble in the city. If Just let it go like this, I'm afraid the rumors outside will be hard to dispel."

All right, the people behind grabbed it.

Xiao Lue changed his murderous gaze to a personal one.

A certain censor suddenly felt that he was in danger of saving his life.

Song Wen came out again, bowed and saluted, and said, "My Majesty, the lower official's family is poor, and there is not even a broken bowl in the yamen. The lower official really has no choice but to ask General Xiao to borrow some money for daily purchases." Thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of General Xiao, the subordinate is not an ungrateful person, so he made some mung bean sprouts himself, thinking that it would be a fresh meal, and sent it to General Xiao as a courtesy. Although it can’t be worth the money, at least it can’t be called People can see clearly."

"Mung bean sprouts?" The emperor glanced at the censor and the official who was talking behind him and asked, "Sprouted mung beans can be eaten? Someone said that the things you sent over were boxy and covered with a cloth towel. If the germinated mung beans are covered with a cloth towel, won’t the sprouts be completely suppressed and unable to grow?”

"My Majesty, it is indeed mung bean sprouts. These mung bean sprouts are cultivated without soil, using only water. The specific planting method has been written down by the lower officials..."

Saying that, Song Wen took out another memorial from his bosom, held it with both hands and raised it above his head, the servant saw the emperor nodded, went over to receive the memorial and presented it to the emperor.

Song Wen continued: "Your Majesty, don't talk about how big the world is, but how many are rich and how many are poor in Chang'an City? And how many are there who can't get enough food and clothing? Household registration, in Chang'an City, the rich do not survive ten thousand, but more than half of them are hungry all the year round. The mung bean sprouts are grown without soil, so they can be placed in the house regardless of the field. Those who are hungry can also temporarily fill their stomachs..."

There was no sound in the court.

Xiao Lue looked forward to the man standing there, hunched over but with a straight spine, his lips curled up, his face was still cold, but his eyes were soft.

He knew that Song Wen would definitely be a good official!

Song Wen said again: "And this mung bean sprouts, eating more can also treat the symptoms of stagnation of qi and insufficient food. Mung bean itself clears away heat and detoxifies, and the same is true for mung bean sprouts.

The officials who came out from behind were all confused by Song Wen's "nonsense", and asked on the spot: "I didn't know Mr. Song also studied medicine..."

Song Wen turned his head to face him, and said with a gentle smile: "Your Excellency doesn't understand, so the lower officials don't understand? The lower officials don't understand, so is it possible that the imperial physician doesn't understand either? The lower officials dare not lie to the emperor, my lord, The next official will not know."

Taking advantage of the situation, he bowed his hands to the emperor in front of him, and he was black in front of him!

The official: "..."

No, I didn't!Your majesty, don't listen to his nonsense!
