The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1291 Punishing Ni

"Then...well, I won't ask any more questions. But...if I have any errands, I will be obliged to do so." Wei Huangan looked at Meng Jingye with a smile.

Meng Jingye nodded lightly and said: "The Ancient Blood Mango Land depends on you. After all, the saints are different from the villains. They definitely want the Ancient Blood Mango Land to preserve life for the human race, but they will never squeeze the power of the Ancient Blood Mango Land. Human. However, the ancient land of Blood Mang should still have residual power of Blood Mang, and it is a new world that is difficult for saints to enter. It requires a great scholar or a great scholar to preside over the affairs of the Blood Mang. These are the people you should pay most attention to."

"Please keep this in mind." Wei Huangan nodded lightly.

"I have handed over the swallowing of sea shells to Yang Yuhuan, and other matters have been settled. I will say goodbye!" Meng Jingye said, cupping his hands, and left quickly without waiting for Wei Huangan to return the gift.

Wei Huangan watched Meng Jingye's back disappear outside the door and murmured to himself: "When the dust settles on the ancient land of Blood Mang, I will repay Fang Xusheng for his life-saving grace!"

Meng Jingye left the Chen family, got on the carriage, and held the official seal in his hand.

"The Meng family's Jingye, Fang Xusheng's grace of enlightenment and life-saving has nothing to repay. Now that Xusheng is dead, he launched 'Zun Ni' to repay his kindness. Please allow the family master to allow his nephew to borrow the power of the Meng family's 'Tianren Pavilion' to screen Punish those who rebel."

"Can!"

Meng Jingye held the official seal in his hand, his eyes like stars in the dim carriage.

Qingwu Mansion Government Office and Houya Government Office.

Cai He sat blankly on the stone bench in the yard, looking at the clear sky in the distance, with slight redness and swelling in his eyes.

Cai He's waist was wrapped with a piece of white cloth.

It is a custom in the mainland of Shengyuan that when a relative dies, the descendants wear hemp and wear mourning, and the relatives wrap white cloth around their waists.

Winter is cold in the north, but Cai He's heart is even colder.

Mrs. Cai held a large cloak and gently draped it behind Cai He. She said softly: "Husband, everything is ready and ready to go to the capital at any time."

"Madam, you said... Fang Xusheng really... went like this?" Cai He stared blankly ahead, his eyes seeming to have no focus.

Mrs. Cai's eyes were also red, and she said softly: "As he said in his poem, 'People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is difficult to do in ancient times.' After all, there will be birth, old age, illness, and death. What's more, you also said before, Fang Xu The saint went there and narrowly escaped death.”

"But...why do I always feel that I was still the county magistrate in Ji County yesterday? Why do I feel that Fang Yun has just been admitted to the Tongsheng School? Why do I feel that the scene where Fang Yun transported me "Mo Mei" happened yesterday? Why do I always feel that that song Why is the ink on "Morning Journey to Ji County" still ringing in my ears?

Cai He looked ahead, tears falling silently.

"Husband... Fang Xusheng has passed away." Mrs. Cai said as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

"How could he die?" Cai He asked in a low voice.

"He is also a human being..." Mrs. Cai said softly.

"Yes, it turns out he is a human being, not a saint..." Cai He murmured, standing up and saying, "Madam, let's go back to Beijing."

"Yes." Mrs. Cai said, holding Cai He's arm.

The two walked a few steps, and Cai He said angrily: "Ji Zhibai is really sensible. He didn't dare to take off the couplet written by Xu Sheng himself. Yesterday, he ordered people to seal the ancestral hall in Tongshan with a huge stone! It's not against the law. The ceremony also preserved Liushan's face. In a few decades, the ancestral hall will be completely lost, and no one knows the origin of "Green mountains are fortunate to bury loyal bones, and white iron is used to cast innocent ministers."

"Sigh... As the emperor and his ministers passed away, I had long expected that they would be like this." Mrs. Cai said.

Cai He said: "The Left Prime Minister and his party have begun to counterattack. Take Qingwu Mansion as an example. Those low-ranking officials usually treat me with respect, but starting from last night, they suddenly became the loyal dogs of the Left Prime Minister. They began to carry out strict investigations and banned The academy teaches books related to Fang Yun, whether they mention Fang Yun or poems and articles written by Fang Yun . All writings about Fang Yun in bookstores, Zhaige and other places were smashed and confiscated, and a message was given to everyone to submit poems and articles about Fang Yun at home. After three days, everyone was allowed to report to each other. If it is verified to be true, the family’s children are prohibited from studying in Qingwu Mansion, doing business, being an official, etc.”

"This..." A flash of anger flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Cai, who had a very good temper.

Cai He continued: "Tonight, the officials of Qingwu Prefecture will transport all the books related to Fang Yun to the North City Gate and burn them outside the city gate. Not only Qingwu Prefecture, but almost all places in Mizhou tonight will Burning books."

"Too much!"

"There is something even more outrageous! Ji Zhibai arrived in Ning'an County last night. He even said that from today on, any scholar who dares to support Fang Yun again will not stop and will kill them all in the name of treason!" Cai He said! .

"Ah? How dare Ji Zhibai do such a thing?"

"You can't do it even if you give him ten courages. The most he can do is scare some people, and then look for opportunities to kill chickens to scare monkeys. He can't do it to trick and kill scholars, let alone him, even a semi-saint."

Mrs. Cai was worried and said: "Aren't those people in Ning'an County going to be in bad luck? Ji Zhibai was the most humiliated in Ning'an back then, and the people there also admired Fang Xusheng the most."

"Sigh... I can't protect myself now. Fortunately, I am Mr. Hechuan's disciple. Otherwise, I will definitely take the prison car back to Beijing. My mentor rarely drinks, but he was very drunk last night. It can be seen that Fang Xusheng is very drunk. His death had a huge impact on him. Some of his classmates even speculated that his mentor might give up his post as Minister of Literature, stay away from Jingguo completely, and go to Liangjieshan."

"Alas..." Mrs. Cai could only sigh.

Cai He looked in the direction of Ning'an County and whispered: "You must be patient for now and wait until I am promoted to bachelor..."

Cai He's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty and hatred.

Ning'an County.

Liu Yu's eyes were empty and he allowed the government servant to pull him forward.

The old man's ankles were shackled, and when he walked, the chains slid across the ground, making a clattering sound.

Along the way, all the neighbors stood at the door and looked at Liu Yu. Except for a few people who were gloating about his misfortune, most of them had sadness and anger in their eyes.

Some people murmured.

"Ji Zhibai, this bastard, is so heartless!"

"Old Liu Tou is such a good person. He was originally one of the top workers in the county's workshops. He spent his whole life working on it, but in the end he didn't get any benefits. He was all taken away by those officials. Fortunately, Fang Xusheng came, what can I say? Reasonable allocation, gave Liu Yu a high-ranking official, called 'General Photographer of Ning'an County Workshop', with dividends every year."

"Yes. People said at the time that the stubborn old man finally met the blue sky, and we were completely convinced."

"The most important thing is that the stubborn old man Liu Yu appeared in "Wenbao"! "Wenbao" also commented that only backward, ignorant and heartless government agencies would publicize how hard-working and meritorious people are suffering and how poor they are. , officials who are truly conscientious and wise will reward Let these meritorious people live a good life, publicize their wealth, and publicize that they not only get honors with their craftsmanship, but also get substantial benefits! It is the incompetence and shamelessness of the government that the meritorious people are poor! These are Fang Xusheng’s original words.”

"However, such a meritorious person was captured by Ji Zhibai..."
