12. Yu Gongyi's substitute

After receiving the writings of the article released as the governor, Zheng Zhi was very calm. He immediately packed his luggage in his house and prepared to set off.

Wei Gao's wife Zhang Yuxiao was visiting relatives in Chang'an at that time. After hearing the news, she came to Zheng's house with her younger brother Zhang Hongjing and cried.

On the contrary, Zheng's wife Bisheng was as calm as her husband, helping her husband to clean up and prepare to set off on the road in tears.

"Hongjing, go to Xichuan Jinzouyuan. No matter what kind of holidays Ah Father had with Chengwu before, his brother-in-law was his brother-in-law. He would always help him when he knew about it." Yu Xiao wiped his tears. He was actually his sister who was distressed. After all, he had to leave the capital and go to the distant Yuezhou. Although it was much stronger than Hunan, Lingnan, and Qianzhong, and it was a wealthy place, but his living habits were too different from our Central Plains. I heard that people in Yuezhou not only ate shrimps, but also ate things in the sea. It was so terrible.

At this time, Zheng Zhi just said: "Actually, I was wrong in this matter anyway. I thought Xingyuan and Fengxiang's excellent students were excellent, and then they inevitably deviated when making questions. This punishment is not excessive."

Hearing Zheng Zhi's stupid answer was equivalent to refusing to ask Wei Gao for help. Yuxiao cried even harder, but Bisheng didn't care. He just asked his sister to say that Wenming's two sons Zheng Jie and Zheng De are young and have poor bones, so it is not convenient to go on the road. In the capital, I will entrust my sister and my brother to take care of her.

After saying that, Zheng Zhi and his wife immediately left the house and went to Duting Station in Qujiang, the capital.

On the night when he stopped at the post station and was about to receive the talisman, Zheng Zhi held his hands behind his back, looked at the waterscape of Qujiang at night, and listened to the Buddhist bells faintly coming from the temples in the distant yard, thinking about something.

"Husband." Bisheng came from behind and called out softly.

"Yes." Zheng Zhi's eyes did not leave the post hall against the water garden.

I and Gao Yue were here, drunk and drunk, and then rode around the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace. It was a joke in Chang'an for a while. Zheng Zhizhi still remembered the scene at that time.

"At that time, I was a proofreader from the Secretariat Province. He had just returned from Jingzhou and was a censor. I was a ninth rank and he was eighth rank. They were all wearing miserable green shirts and talking about their ambitions in this wine pavilion at Qujiang Station." Zheng Zhi talked about his wife casually at this time.

Bisheng didn't answer, so he sat down quietly and listened to the other party's confidant.

"At the third year of high school, my official position was low, but my tone was very big. My ambition was to be able to enter Hanyuan by studying Ci, gain appreciation from the masters, and then slowly enter the residence of the ministers. He was different. He said at that time - I came back from Jingzhou, and I understood the border troubles of the imperial court. I wanted to restore the dozens of states and boundaries that were lost in Helong, Anxi, and Beiting, and to save 500,000 Tang people. At that time, I saw that the eyes of the third year of high school were shining. Sometimes I envied him. It was difficult for the world to form shackles for him. As long as there was the light and flame in his eyes, he would definitely do it. So ten years later, his ambition was realized most of it, and most of it...and I..." Zheng Zi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Over the years, Zheng Zhi felt that the most enjoyable thing was actually the mission to kill Xifan when he was on a mission to Yunnan, but he buried it deeply in his heart. He seemed to understand that once a person has any desires awakened in his sleep, it would be difficult to suppress it.

Everyone is the same, including Gao Yue.

"You are different from Gao Yisong. Just like the pair of pine trees in Yuanfa Temple, the pine trees and pine trees will not have exactly the same temperament."

"Now I am just afraid that idiots like Dou Shen and Dou Shen will backfire, but instead stimulate the other side of the senior high school. While destroying myself, they will also deeply reverse this generation. After deposing me, will the next chief officer who will come to test the test really be what Dou wants?" Zheng Zhi seemed to feel in his heart, or when he remembered that when he was talking to Gao Yue at night, what Gao Yue said was probably true in the near future!

But luck is like a flood and a beast, how can he reverse it?

While sighing, Zheng Zhi picked up his pen and slowly wrote a poem on the wall of the post station:

The frost bell first responded to the rules, and it was silent and came out of the heavy forest.

When brushing the water, you should listen clearly and listen clearly, and the sound will be scattered in the air.

The pounding is not stopped, and it sways until late at night.

The moon is under the sound of the void, and the wind is far away.

The purity and cold leaks out, and the ignorance of dawn is even more invading.

A thousand mountains are far away, where can I find it?

After Zheng Xi left the capital and took office in Yuezhou, Dou Shen, the Minister of Personnel, and a group of clans, immediately celebrated each other, and abandoned Dou Shen's promises before leaving Taiyuan. He took bribes and said a quick reply that he would come immediately. He would let anyone he wanted to go, and directly drafted a list with Dou Rong at home. He was so proud that he didn't know that his clan's father was on the edge of a cliff.

Shangqing tried hard to persuade each other, but Dou Shen and Dou Rong turned a blind eye.

Hu Xijin, a scholar from Jixian Academy, also known as Hu Daduo, quickly cursed Xiongwen, scolding Jieshuai (pointing to Qihou) in the foreign town to collude with the court's rituals and servants, and actually cheated on the imperial court. What kind of discipline is that if the country's military power and elections are in their hands, "the country will not be in the future"!

Dou Shen continued to work hard and instructed his minions to impeach Gao Ying, the Minister of Rites who had been on the list with Zheng Zhi, saying that he was also unreasonable.

Gao Ying submitted a memorial to ask for retreat, but the emperor invited him to stay, but he still transferred him to the Dongdu to stay in the branch office.

Another unlucky person is Bao Fang, the minister of Taichang Temple in Tongbang, who was directly forced to retire as Minister of Works. Retirement means retirement. The secretary-general and the young master of the prince Xiao Xin, who was over 90 years old at this time.

The emperor was sympathetic to Xiao Xin's old age, so he stipulated that after Xiao Xin returned to his house, he could attend court meetings occasionally, and his salary could still be received half of his salary: this is also the origin of our country's pension. The elder Xiao Xin was the first person to enjoy pension in history. Tang Hui Yaoli clearly recorded: "(Xiao Xin) retired, and still gave half of his salary and silk... Retired officials gave money, and since Xin and others... were appointed to retire, and ordered to be ignored, and they were specially given salary, which was a supporter for the elderly."

But for Bao Fang, this was a great shame. He said to his friend in grief and anger: "I am about the same age as Xiao Xin's son, but I retired with Xin, which is very shameful!"

After the matter came to an end, the emperor immediately summoned Yu Gongyi in Zichen's palace, carrying an imperial pen in his hand, and there were snow-white imperial hemp paper on the desk.

After Yu Gongyi came in, the emperor asked him with a smile: "How is it? How is the preparation for the test?"

This made Yu Gong angry. After all, Dou had already agreed to him. You will be discharged from the hospital and be appointed as the Minister of Rites and replace Zheng Zhi for the exam.

Yu Gongyi has already sold the questions to the test secretly, and the bribes he received are piled up.

It seems that today is about to be fulfilled!

"I originally wanted to be appointed Xiao Xin as the Minister of Rites and the chief of the examination. But Xin had just completed the review of Daizong's record, and it took a lot of energy to make it difficult to support it. Therefore, I have returned to him to retire. After thinking about it, there is only one person in this hall."

Hearing this, Yu Gongyi was very excited and immediately prepared to lift the tablet and accept the appointment.
