Chapter six hundred and eighteenth evil from the heart
Gu Hengbo lay on the bed, tidied his hair, and chuckled softly: "I'll send my visit to you earlier tomorrow, I want to thank him."
Although it was unintentional, Gu Hengbo became a little curious about Zhu Xu who had never met before.
"Okay lady." said the maid.
Zhu Xu continued to write his "travel note". Some of the preconceived thoughts changed under the impact of reality. He wrote them down bit by bit, which would be of great use in the future.
Cao Huachun came back soon and reported: "Master, the matter has been completed."
Zhu Xu put down his pen, stood up, stretched his waist, and smiled and said, "How is this young master Mao has any surprises for you?"
Cao Huachun is also a scholar. The Cao family is a heir of poetry and books. This young master Mao really made him angry, but in front of Zhu Xu, he still endured: "Your Majesty, the current trend of the Shilin Kingdom really needs to be rectified."
Zhu Xu swayed for a while, smiling without saying a word.
At first, he hoped to use the students of the Royal College to slowly dispel the current decadent aura, but he couldn't wait for it for too long. Then he hoped to use political reform to sweep from top to bottom with the righteousness of the court, but he found that it still couldn't.
If you want to solve the problem, you can only start from the root and the thought, and supplement it with a big policy stick, so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Zhu Xu opened the window and felt a hint of hot wind. He looked at the stars in the sky with a distance and said, "Sages have been refined from ancient times to the present, and have produced countless knowledge about the Four Books, Five Classics, the Analects of Confucius, etc., which may be a bit out of date and are not good for young scholars. I plan to summon the great scholars of the world and re-annotate the saints from beginning to end. What do you think?"
Cao Huachun's face changed slightly. Looking at Zhu Xu's back, he felt uneasy and didn't know what he was going to do.
What is the classic of saints? It is a golden rule. No matter who it is, even the emperor must respect it and not be disrespectful at all!
It is not a matter of one or two words to "annotate" the saint's words, and no one has the courage to do it. Even if the emperor issues an order, I am afraid no one dares to accept it!
The mild ones have a disgrace and become a rat crossing the street; the severe ones have historical books that are like iron, which will be infamous for thousands of years!
Cao Huachun stepped forward, bowed behind Zhu Xu, and said in contemplation: "Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be done."
Zhu Xu didn't say anything, and had already realized that food was to fill his stomach. Confucianism was more important than food. It was the core of everyone's thoughts and all the foundation of behavior and doing things. How could he easily "annotate" it?
Looking at the stars in the sky, Zhu Xu said for a long time, "The spring examination is coming soon. I ordered Qian Qianyi to preside over the capital in Beijing, and Wen Tiren goes south to Yingtian Prefecture."
Cao Huachun frowned even more and more. Both of them were ministers of the Ministry of Rites. Yuan Keli was seriously ill and could not take matters. These two people would have to control this year's imperial examination.
But Wen Tiren went south just for the imperial examination?
Cao Huachun knew Zhu Xu so much and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I wish you boldly speak out. You should not be too hasty. Things in the capital have not yet been settled. You are still outside the capital. You still have a half way to go. Don't have any more trouble..."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Well, I have a proper position, just send an order. By the way, I want to stay in the mountains. East for more days and walk around. You go to the fleet tomorrow and fool it."
Cao Huachun was worried and had nodded and said, "Abide by the order."
A meteor suddenly appeared in the sky, flew quickly to the north, and disappeared after blinking.
“It’s really too fast…”
Zhu Xu murmured to himself, although the situation would become more and more difficult, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If the bow is pulled too tightly, it is easy to break the string.
In a blink of an eye, he thought of the capital again, and the will will arrive tomorrow afternoon. All parties who were already ready to move did not know what kind of demon dance would be staged.
‘I really want to see it…’
Zhu Xu said in his heart, but said, "Go and rest. I've been tired these days. Let the guards change shifts and rest, don't be too tired."
"Yes." Cao Huachun said, and withdrew from the door with anxiety.
Zhu Xu also got into bed after washing and working. Things in the capital need to be decided quickly, and he cannot be too far away.
Early the next morning, Gu Hengbo's maid walked towards Zhu Xu's room with Gu Hengbo's prayer letter, but was blocked by the imperial guards from afar.
"Our son is resting, please go back." said an imperial guard.
The maid was stunned, turned to look at the sky outside, muttering in her heart, whispering 'I'm so lazy', and said crisply: "This is our lady's greeting, please give it to your son."
After being quarreled by Mao Pijiang over and over again, the guards naturally knew who was living on the other end. They spoke in a sense and immediately refused, "No need, our young master will not see your lady."
The maid immediately opened her eyes wide and said, "Do you know who our lady is?"
The guard frowned slightly and said impatiently: "No matter who it is, our young master is not interested."
"You..." The maid was so angry that she thought that their lady was in the Jiangnan area, which was the most popular. From the top to the nobles, no one of them fell to the talent of her lady!
‘The rustic bun who has never seen the world!’ The maid was angry, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
When the guard saw her leave, he retreated back to his original position.
Zhu Xu naturally got up long ago, cleaned up and opened the door.
The guards immediately turned their heads and bowed to signal.
Zhu Xu waved his hand, glanced at the maid's back as she entered the door, and said, "Are you back?"
An imperial guard hurriedly said, "Go back to the master, go check what you have explained, it may take a while."
Zhu Xu had a slight jaw and Cao Bianjiao went to investigate the specific situation of disaster relief.
"Let's go to the nearby disaster relief site and see if we can have breakfast." Zhu Xu raised his foot and went out.
"Yes." A group of guards followed.
Cao Huachun came up at the door and whispered: "Young Master, someone spys on our fleet."
Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, let the substitute take a normal daily life, and go out for a walk. It's far away and it's hard to see clearly."
Cao Huachun understood and said, "Yes."
"Let's go." Zhu Xu said.
There are no disaster relief sites in the town, so you have to go to Tai'an City.
In Gu Hengbo's room, he was stunned when he heard the maid's reply and said, "You said, he didn't see me, and he didn't even see you?"
The maid was quite angry and said, "Yes, Miss, I think he must be a native bun from the north, and I don't know who the lady is."
Gu Hengbo's expression remained unchanged, nodding thoughtfully and said, "Forget it if you don't see me, Mr. Gong has arrived in Ji. Nan, write me to ask me to see the Quan, pack my luggage, and leave now."
The maid smiled and said, "Okay Miss."
Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Xu said, "Old Cao, let's arrange it. I plan to go to Ji. Nan to take a look." Tai. An is just a corner and is not representative. As the Ji. Nan's Prefecture of the Shandong Provincial Government, it should be able to explain many problems.
"Yes." Cao Huachun responded. Although it could not be said to be a wolf's den, the emperor still had to ensure complete travel. There were too many things to arrange. With the lessons learned last time, the arrangements are more closely connected.
It is said to be a county town, but in fact, Tai and An is a state under Ji and Nan Prefecture. It is not large and has a large population. It is a problem that has been repeatedly abolished and established.
It is the time of slack farming, and there are not many people coming and going in the county town. Perhaps there have been bandit troubles before, and the people here give Zhu Xu a feeling of "listenness" and no "vigor" in the capital.
Zhu Xu and others got off the carriage, were questioned a few times at the city gate and put them in.
The imperial guards have found out where the disaster relief site is and have brought Zhu Xu and his group over.
Zhu Xu said it was a disaster relief, but its actual name was "Porridge Shed". In front of a large yard, there was a very long line.
"Your, a bowl of porridge, a sweet potato, and a steamed bun."
"Your, after eating, the box where you put the bowl there, there is only one steamed bun, you can get the porridge again..."
Five people were busy there. The victims from east to west, received porridge, sweet potatoes, and then steamed buns. They squatted not far away and finished eating, and sent the bowl back.
There were seven or eight yamen runners on both sides of the entrance of the yard. They looked around vigilantly and looked at Zhu Xu and his group of people for a few more times.
Zhu Xu looked at it not far away for a while and said strangely, "It's not bad, has the news leaked?"
Cao Huachun's expression was a little wrong and said, "Young master, don't worry, today is behind."
"later?"
Zhu Xu was stunned, a little confused, so he still looked patiently.
The porridge and steamed buns will soon be moved out of the yard. There are about 200 victims, but now only a small half of them are underway.
A pair of half-bians who were obviously grandfather and grandson, a little girl of four or five years old. The two squeezed in front of her. The old man was quite anxious, but the little girl looked curious.
The old man seemed a little dirty, but his granddaughter was very clean.
"Official, two bowls of porridge, two steamed buns, and two sweet potatoes." The old man said to the young man who distributed it.
The young man frowned when he saw the old man and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother-in-law, this is to help the victims. Look at the people behind him, there are still many people who are not enough every day, and you are not..."
When the old man heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "My granddaughter has come to see me, so he wants to invite her to eat. She is hungry for a long time. Please..."
The young man looked at the old man and looked at the little girl again, frowned and still served him porridge, muttering in his mouth. He didn't know what he was saying.
The old man didn't care, so he took the bowl and handed it to the little girl, and said with a smile: "Come on, drink it, this is corn vegetable porridge, it's delicious."
The little girl blinked and hugged the bowl and wanted to drink it.
Smack
Suddenly, a horse whip was thrown over and hit the little girl directly. The bowl of porridge fell to the ground in a sound.
The little girl let out a wow, hugged her arms, threw herself into the old man's arms, and cried loudly.
Chapter completed!
