Be a master through ancient times

After checking the materials of Zhangzhou Prefecture that day, Qin Shun took people to the Fuxue County School and several village schools for on-the-spot investigation.

In order to seek the truth, he did not tell where he was going every day, leaving early and returning late, and went to various schools under the guise of his identity.When he asked about Chu Ci, these people were full of praise.Qin Shun could feel that those who spoke were from the heart.They praised the various policies promulgated by Chuci, and praised that the imperial court finally sent a good official to their Zhangzhou mansion.

The more he learned, the more silent Qin Shun became. He was not always criticizing like before, but more of an observation of Chu Ci.He found that although Chu Ci was sharp-tongued, he never took the initiative to hurt others. If you talk to him in a nice voice, his answer is always pleasant.Qin Shun thought that he was critical of him in every possible way before, and would have raised his eyebrows if he were someone else, but he was still smiling and polite.

Qin Shun's mood became a little complicated, he left Zhangzhou Prefecture, and after staying in other prefectures for five days, he returned to Beijing with a few newspapers.

Needless to say, there were twists and turns along the way. From Nanfu Province, the weather became colder as you went north, and many waterways were closed to traffic.Qin Shun abandoned the boat halfway and left the official road. He hurried to spend the new year outside.He didn't rush back to the capital until the tenth day of the first lunar month.

He was wondering all the way, what was he thinking at the time, that he volunteered to go to Nanmin Province to trouble Chu Ci at this time?If he didn't have such a stupid idea, he wouldn't be tortured by it.

After returning to the capital, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went directly to the palace to report his orders.Coincidentally, Chang Chao had just been let go today, and as soon as Emperor Tianhe heard that Qin Shun had returned to the capital, he directly announced him to the Imperial Study Room.

Qin Shun drove dozens of miles in the morning, and looked a little embarrassed at the moment. As soon as he entered the imperial study, he fell to his knees with a plop, and made a respectful salute.

"Qin Aiqing, please, I have been here for three or four months, and I suffered a lot on the road. Aiqing seems to have lost a lot of weight!" Looking at his appearance, Tianhe Emperor felt very emotional.

Qin Shun forced some tears to show that he was very moved by the emperor's thoughtfulness.

After the monarch and his ministers exchanged a few routine greetings, they turned the topic to the business.

Emperor Tianhe said: "This time, Qin Aiqing inspected the academic affairs of the three southern provinces on my behalf. I don't know how the situation is in each province?"

Qin Shun said: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I can't explain the situation in the three southern provinces in a few words. Everything is on this notebook, so I will present it here." Qin Shun took out a thick memorial and handed it to a little father-in-law, and then He will submit it upwards.

Tianhedi took the notebook and read it carefully, and it took more than half an hour to read it.Qin Shun stood motionless below, years of experience in going to court had given him a pair of indestructible legs.

After reading it, Emperor Tianhe rubbed the center of his brows with his hand, put down the notebook and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Qin Aiqing has observed very carefully during this trip, and has discovered the problems in these provinces in time. People in Taiwan are born with sharp eyes, and nothing can escape your eyes, and I will reward you greatly."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En. I just fulfilled my duties. I believe that no matter which lord the Majesty sends, everyone will do their best for the Majesty and the court." Qin Shun was happy that this trip was not in vain.He has been able to stay at Yushitai for so long, of course not because of random hunting and biting. If there is no evidence, he would not dare to report it, or the Holy One will not tolerate him long ago.

Emperor Tianhe coughed twice, and said with a smile: "If all the officials in the world act like Qin Aiqing, then why do I have to worry? By the way, I see what education newspaper you mentioned on it, what is it, and the court mansion How is it different?"

Qin Shun was taken aback, feeling that the Holy One was really sensitive, so he just mentioned a few words, which were just a drop in the ocean in this thick book, but he picked them up and asked them alone.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to what I have seen, this education newspaper is mostly imitated from the imperial palace newspaper, but the content is different, and most of it is related to studies." Qin Shun said truthfully.

Tianhe Emperor suddenly became interested. He would read this court newspaper every issue. He also asked people to collect all kinds of tabloids circulating among the people, but most of those tabloids were about folk affairs, and the content was too vulgar. , It's just dirty eyes.I don't know what this education newspaper is like?

"Did you bring it back? I didn't look at it carefully when I reviewed the memorial just now. I wonder who founded this education newspaper?" Emperor Tianhe asked. All the people mentioned in the memorial just now have been replaced by official positions. No time to tell who is who.

Qin Shun hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Return to the Holy Lord, it is the Zhangzhou government who founded this newspaper."

"Chu Ci?" It's been a long time since I heard this name, and Tianhedi couldn't help being in a daze. After he recalled Chu Ci, he couldn't help laughing, "It turned out to be him. It's no wonder. He likes to come up with some new ones." Ideas, I still remember that when he was a secretary in the capital, he could come up with many new tricks."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the blackboard on the left side of the imperial study room with a topographical map drawn on it. It seemed that this object was also thought up by Chu Ci.

Since Chu Ci assisted Xu Zheng, the magistrate of Xijiang Province, to solve the case in November of the previous year, when the governor of Southern Fujian Province submitted the memorial, he deliberately blocked all the content about Chu Ci.The purpose, of course, is to prevent Chu Ci from gaining a sense of presence in front of the emperor.

The other adults who were close friends with him would occasionally say a few words in private, but it was nothing serious after all, and he couldn't be mentioned suddenly during court time, and could only let Chu Ci slowly disappear in this hall.As for Wen Taifu and the others, they are observing silently, and they are keeping quiet now because they are afraid that they will be easily damaged if they are too popular.Once Chu Ci has made some achievements, they will talk to Chu Ci to return to Beijing.Mrs. Wen has an inexplicable sense of trust in Chu Ci, and he always feels that Chu Ci is the best candidate to teach the princes.

When Qin Shun heard Tianhedi say this, he was very surprised. The emperor still remembered the person who hadn't heard from him for more than a year, which shows how deeply the Chuci made everyone feel.

"That's right, Chu Tixue works in Zhangzhou Prefecture, and the local officials and people are full of praise for him..." Since the emperor wanted to hear it, Qin Shun naturally wouldn't be disappointed, so he picked up a few things he heard from the people and said , making Tianhe Dizhi happy.

However, Tianhe Emperor suddenly looked at Qin Shun suspiciously after he was overjoyed, and said, "I remember that Qin Aiqing and Chu Ci always fought tit for tat in court in the past, fighting like black-eyed chickens. Why did you go?" Once in Zhangzhou Mansion, did you say good things about him?"

Emperor Tianhe still had a smile on his lips, but Qin Shun had already knelt down, "Your Majesty has clearly observed that it is true that my minister and Chu Ti were a bit dirty in the past, but I have always treated things wrongly, and it is only my duty as a censor." It's not that I have any prejudice against Chu Tixue. This time, I inspected the three southern provinces for you, the sage, and inspected many state capitals along the way, but in terms of merits, Zhangzhou Prefecture is indeed superior to them. I dare not hide it , all are reported according to the facts, I dare not lie, let alone... I have never received any benefits."

Tianhedi smiled very kindly: "Qin Aiqing don't need to be so nervous, get up quickly. Come on, give me a seat. I'm just asking casually. Both of you are upright people, and you can't mix sand in your eyes. How could there be such shady activities? I just sigh with emotion. In the past, there was Qi Huangyang who did not avoid enemies when he acted outwardly, and did not avoid sons when he acted internally. Now that Qin Aiqing let go of his hatred and speak up for his former political enemies, I am very relieved."

Qin Shun thanked En and got up, sat tremblingly on a small corner stool, complaining wildly in his heart that Tianhedi was suddenly scary.Fortunately, he was telling the truth, and he never thought of framing others, otherwise he would suffer.

"By the way, did you bring the education newspaper you mentioned just now? I just heard from you that the students in Zhangzhou Mansion respect it very much. I also want to see if the education newspaper is good or not."

Qin Shun hurriedly said: "Go back to the sage, I thought that the sage would like these new items, so I brought back a few copies of each issue of the newspaper they published, and they are currently being placed on the carriage of the minister. Send someone over."

"No need, just say where it is, and I will order someone to get it." Tianhe Emperor couldn't wait to see it, so naturally he didn't want to wait for him to walk out slowly.

After Qin Shun told the location, the palace servants rushed there immediately, not daring to delay for a moment after getting back the newspaper.From the south gate to the imperial study room, it only took a cup of tea.

Since the first issue of this education newspaper was published in June, it has already published its No.14 issue in December. Its layout has also changed from the original four to more and more, and the content has become more and more abundant. , Some people even contributed manuscripts to serialize the script on it.Of course, the content of this storybook has been strictly reviewed, and it is in line with what the students see as positive.

The few copies Qin Shun got were bound, and they were unfolded into a large stack.After Tianhedi saw the first issue, he couldn't move his eyes away.Qin Shun sat down bitterly, feeling a little desperate, and wondered how long it would take the emperor to find out that he was still here.When he got these newspapers before, he also forgot to read them for a long time.

I have to say that the newspaper is really a good helper to pass the time.There is often a saying among the people, which is called: a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper for a day.Although the words are a bit ironic, they also illustrate the importance of newspapers. Before there were no mobile phones and computers, most of the effective information was obtained from newspapers.

……

"Dear dears, I heard about several interesting cases in the past two days, and I don't know how to pronounce the verdict for a while. I don't know if you have any conclusions?"

In the early court, Emperor Tianhe said to the ministers with a smile.

The adults in the court turned their heads to Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice for the first time. Interesting case?They hadn't heard of any interesting case lately.

The adults in the Ministry of Criminal Justice are also confused. Recently, there was only one murder case in the outskirts of the city. The murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely cruel. This can't be called an interesting case, can it?The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice looked at Dali Siqing. Could it be a case that they have not reported after the trial?The Minister of Dali Temple shook his head. Except for the case in the suburbs of the city, these are trivial matters. It is not worth Dali Temple's action at all. The local county government will solve it.

Facing the bewildered adults, Tianhe Emperor was secretly heartbroken. Qin Shun, the only one who knew the truth, missed this rare scene because of his low official position and was not able to join the Chang Dynasty.

"Please ask the emperor to clear up the confusion for us." As the emperor's master, Mrs. Wen stood up right now to break the embarrassing atmosphere.

Tianhedi smiled heartily, and told about Zhang San and Li Si's theft. He asked the adults to think independently, and did not allow them to ask for advice from the people of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

After the adults thought about it, they insisted on their own opinions, and the court was extremely lively for a while.Tianhe Emperor sat on the dragon chair, leisurely looking at the grown-ups below who looked like cockfights. It didn't make sense that Zhangzhou's students had started to practice the law, but his grown-ups didn't know it yet.
