Dafeng's Night Squad

216 This little adult is ...

It’s him ... Xu Qi ‘an was suddenly enlightened. He remembered the great scholar who had read his own poems.

He didn’t know who yang Gong was, but he had heard of layman Zi Yang. This guy took advantage of the fact that he had forgotten the name of the farewell poem and forcibly named it after Erlang recited the poem.

He was simply shameless to the extreme.

Later, Xu Qi ‘an used his poems to impress the three great Confucians of the Academy. Bai su and the others were inspired by layman Zi Yang and did not feel guilty at all.

When people are wandering in the pugilistic world, it’s either you or I who are free.

They hired a carriage near the dock. After Governor Zhang entered the carriage, he lifted the curtain and continued, layman Zi Yang was the top scholar in the 14th year of yuanjing. He resigned the following year and became an educator in the Academy. He has many students under him.

“Resign the next year?” Xu Qian’s heart moved.

The top scholar could enter the Hanlin Academy, and the lucky scholar of the Hanlin Academy was also known as the Prime Minister. In other words, the top scholar could compete for the position of first assistant.

The following year, he resigned and suffered a huge loss!

it’s because of the internal strife within the Imperial court. Don’t be fooled by the intense competition between the various parties. When faced with the scholars of Yun Lu Academy, their spearheads are all United against outsiders. Provincial governor Zhang sighed,

“After scholar Zi Yang became the top scorer, he was thrown into a corner and no one paid attention to him. Because of this, he was depressed for a year and spent every day in the teaching workshop Division. The next year, he resigned and returned to Yun Lu Academy to teach.”

.... I’ve heard of this before. I’ve been working on it for almost a year. Xu Qi ‘an was envious.

Governor Zhang could only sigh and give no other explanation for the internal strife between the various parties in the Imperial court that happened to scholar Zi Yang.

This was because Xu Qi ‘an, who had a younger brother in Yun Lu Academy, was very clear about the situation.

The conflict for the throne two hundred years ago caused the royal family to be wary and disgusted with the scholars of the cloud deer Institute. Hence, quasi-Saint Cheng rose to power and established the Directorate to replace the cloud deer Institute in providing talents to the Imperial court.

It could be said that there was a conflict of interest and a fight for orthodoxy between the two sides. If Emperor yuanjing was not a balance maniac, layman Zi Yang would probably still be teaching in the Academy.

master Zi Yang’s talent and skills are top-notch. When he first arrived in Qingzhou, he cleaned up the Office of the Chief Commissioner with a thunderous force. Within a month, he dismissed or imprisoned 178 corrupt officials, shaking the entire Qingzhou officialdom. Governor Zhang’s tone was filled with admiration.

Was he really that reckless? Although a new official was quick to take action, a high-ranking official sent out of the capital should take his time to clean up the bureaucracy of Qingzhou ... How long had it been since recluse Zi Yang was appointed by the Imperial court and became the chief governor of Qingzhou?

Xu Qian was puzzled. He frowned and said,”The various factions of the Imperial court allow him to make such a big move?”

“During the investigation in the capital, the various parties in the Imperial court were fighting intensely and could no longer cooperate. There was also Duke Wei’s restraint ...” Governor Zhang said with a smile.

He gave Xu Qi ‘an a “I understand” look and continued, ” moreover, layman Zi Yang is a cunning man. He has gotten all the evidence and said all the things that he wanted to say ... En, the scholars of Yun Lu Academy are the best at reasoning, right?”

The ‘truth’ that the Lord was talking about was the truth of physics ... Xu Qian understood and smiled at provincial governor Zhang.

After they arrived at the official courier station in Qingzhou, Governor Zhang brought Xu Qi ‘an to the Office of the Chief Commissioner to visit layman Zi Yang.

Xu Qi ‘an had already understood the reason why Governor Zhang took the initiative to talk to him. This experienced and capable Governor was afraid that layman Zi Yang would not buy it, so he dragged layman Zi Yang along.

After all, this provincial governor’s job was to inspect Yunzhou, not Qingzhou.

With Xu Qi ‘an following him, recluse Purple Sun would definitely give him face and grant all his requests.

After entering the administration office, the clerk led a group of people into the inner hall to have tea and take a seat.

“Lord chief governor has gone to the major Yamen to inspect the matter of the commandment monument.”

The one who received them was the left chief of staff of the administration department, a secondary fourth-rank official.

“Is it the stone tablet in the front yard?” Governor Zhang muttered.

The left advisor smiled and nodded. the chief administrator wishes to set up a commandment tablet to warn the officials of Qingzhou. Officials should be honest and bring benefits to the people.

Governor Zhang nodded. This was the aftermath of cleaning up the atmosphere of the officialdom. the chief administrator has put in a lot of effort into this move, but why is there not a word on the commandment monument? ”

The left advisor said helplessly,”Lord chief administrator hasn’t thought about what to carve yet. I’ve been troubled by this matter recently.” He also asked us to put our heads together and provide inspiration, which also caused us to be tired.”

Recluse Zi Yang was really cool, he knew how to organize an essay competition ... Xu Qian said.

Dafeng was divided into 16 states. Xu Qi ‘an understood the states as provinces, but not every state was a province. There were many small states.

For example, Qingzhou had more than a dozen States under its jurisdiction. In addition, there were also prefectures and counties.

.....

At this time, the chief governor yang Gong led a group of Qingzhou officials into the government office of Qingzhou. The magistrate of the government office humbly accompanied him.

Yang Gong, who was wearing a red robe, stood in front of the stele and nodded with satisfaction.”My Lords, do you have any suggestions for the monolith inscriptions?”

In just a few months, his scholarly air had gradually disappeared and was replaced by the authority of an official.

“I feel that we can engrave Lord chief diplomat’s deeds of purging corrupt officials and upholding justice on a stele to serve as a warning for future generations.” The magistrate of Qingzhou bowed.

Yang Gong was a little moved. In this way, the stele would definitely be recorded in the local Chronicles of Qingzhou for future generations to sing.

But he quickly rejected the suggestion. “There shouldn’t be too many inscriptions on the stele. Otherwise, it would be too complicated and long, and not eye-catching enough.”

“Then let’s carve poems.” An official said subconsciously.

Then, he realized that everyone present was looking at him with calm eyes ...

The official laughed drily and did not say anything.

For scholars who were well-read, it was not difficult to write poems. Who didn’t have a few works when they were young? whether they could make it to the hall of elegance was another matter.

For a poem to be inscribed on a tablet, not only did it have to be well written, it also had to be used to warn the world. How could it be written just like that?

During the discussion, an official from the administration department came to the office on a horse. He trotted in and stood not far away. He cupped his fists and said,

“Lord chief governor, a Governor has arrived at the Yamen of the chief governor’s office.”

Governor? Did this year’s provincial governor come so quickly? The year of Geng was the year of the capital’s investigation. According to the usual practice, the capital should have sent an Imperial inspector down after the investigation in the capital had come to a conclusion.

This involved the unspoken rules of the officialdom. The end of the capital investigation also meant that there was a result in the struggle between the parties. The winner and the loser had already been decided.

After that, he would send an Inspector-General to remove the officials from the defeated camp.

...

Yang Gong, who had received the letter a few days earlier, explained, “”I’m not here for Qingzhou. I’m going to Yunzhou. I’m just passing by Qingzhou on the way.”

Yunzhou ... All the officials had expressions of understanding.

Yang Gong looked at the clerk and said,”tell the provincial governor that I have important matters to attend to, so I will not be seeing you.” If there’s anything he needs, ask him to look for his left and right to help him with politics.”

Yang Gong was a great scholar of the Yun Lu Academy, and he didn’t have much interaction with the officials of the Imperial court, much less any friendship. He was still troubled by the monolith inscriptions and was too lazy to care about the governor he was not familiar with.

“Yes!” The clerk responded first and then added, “”The governor also asked this lowly one to pass you a message.”

Yang Gong and the other officials looked over.

“Xu Qi ‘an will accompany you,” the clerk said.

Xu Qi ‘an, who was that? The officials didn’t manage to react in time, but yang Gong did. This was because he had always been paying attention to the movements in the capital and had always maintained contact with the great Confucians of Yun Lu Academy through letters.

“Lift the palanquin and return to the chief envoy office.” Yang Gong’s attitude took a 180-degree turn, and his tone was filled with urgency and joy, ”

“Quickly, lift the sedan.”

Finishing, he left the officials and walked straight out of the mansion.

...

‘This ...’ The officials of Qingzhou looked at each other and stared at yang Gong’s back in confusion.

“Who is Xu Qi ‘an? The name sounds familiar.” The magistrate of Qingzhou frowned.

“Why don’t we go to the administration office to take a look and receive the Imperial inspector from the capital?”

“That’s reasonable. Let’s go.”

The officials left the government office in groups, and the palanquins set off one by one to the chief Administration Office.

.....

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t wait long at the office of governors before an adult in a red robe came. The man had an ancient face and a goatee that was popular among the middle-aged and old people. His eyes were bright and lively, and he looked dignified without being angry.

He was an extremely imposing adult.

A Golden Rooster embroidered on the chest ... He was a second-rank high official, and the chief administrator seemed to be a secondary second-rank official.

.... He was the only copper Gong left, so he must be Xu cijiu’s cousin ... Just by looking at their appearances, the two brothers had no similarities at all ... Compared to old times, the difference was a Little Big ...

Xu Qi ‘an only recognized clothes and not people. He guessed that this imposing red-robed man should be the chief governor of Qingzhou, the great scholar of Yunlu Academy, and the layman Purple Sun who wrote his farewell poem for nothing.

After paying his respects to Governor Zhang, layman Purple Sun turned his eyes to Xu Qi ‘an, who was wearing a black uniform with a magic tool and a Gong tied to his chest, and silently examined him.

At this moment, he was no longer excited. There was a hint of dignity in his gentleness.

.... He was the only copper Gong left, so he must be Xu cijiu’s cousin ... Just by looking at their appearances, the two brothers had no similarities at all ... Compared to old times, the difference was a Little Big ... Yang Gong smiled and said, ”

“You are Xu ningyan?”

“Yes, I am,” Xu Qi ‘an quickly cupped his fists.

“You don’t have to be so formal in front of me. You can call yourself a student.” The smile on yang Gong’s face widened. you’re indeed a talented man. You don’t lose to old times.

Layman Zi Yang has good eyes ... “Sir, you flatter me,” Xu Qi ‘an said happily.

After some small talk, yang Gong asked about the recent situation in the capital, even though he had learned a lot of inside information through the letters from the Academy.

It was indeed the right decision to bring Xu ningyan to visit. Otherwise, the chief administrator would not have such an attitude ... “The situation in the capital is chaotic, and the factional disputes are still intense ...”

From the Sangbo case to the Yunzhou case of the Minister of Works ...

Layman Zi Yang kept sneering as he listened, but he didn’t comment too much on the situation in the Imperial court, mainly because Imperial inspector Zhang wasn’t one of his own. If only Xu Qi ‘an was here, he would have been direct.

In the evening, layman Zi Yang invited Governor Zhang to a banquet in an elegant courtyard. Jiang Lu Zhong was also invited. In addition, the prefect of Qingzhou and other high-ranking officials were also invited.

The small courtyard was brightly lit, and the curtains hung low. The officials sat in a row, drinking and chatting happily.

The bands and dancers invited from the Academy Square were dancing in the cold courtyard to liven up the mood for the adults.

In fact, at the beginning, the Imperial Academy Division was purely a Department of entertainment, specializing in singing and dancing to liven up the official banquets. Later, it gradually evolved into an official brothel.

The young ladies were forced to go from performing to selling their bodies.

The central figures of the banquet were the chief governor yang Gong and the governor Zhang xingying. As for Jiang Luzhong, although Jin Gong was highly skilled, the night watchmen and the Civil officials were natural enemies, so no one paid him any attention.

Xu Qi ‘an had thought that he would be the same. He was happy and carefree, and did not need to pay attention to the social activities in the government.

Unexpectedly, an official in a red robe raised his glass to Xu Qi ‘an and said, “”This Little Lord, are you the poetmaker of” thin shadow across the clear water, dark fragrance floating in the evening moon “?”

[ PS: asking for votes at the beginning of the month. There’s an event called voting for monthly votes and giving Qidian coins. For more details, please follow the ” author’s words ” in this chapter. ] I didn’t manage to secure the top ten last month, so I’ll have to trouble you all this month.
