Returning home in a happy mood, Lin Yixuan suddenly discovered that it was actually not that difficult to face some people and things in the past.

Li Yaonan got out of the yamen early, and now he is holding Chen'er in his arms, teaching his two sons to be more careful, the capital city is not like Yunnan, there are a lot of dignitaries, if they make mistakes, he can't keep them.

Chen'er nestled obediently in her father's arms, and giggled from time to time when she saw her brother's frowning face.

In other words, is it right for Li Yaonan to hold Chen'er in his arms and teach his son?It should be known that there is a saying called ear and eye rendering.

When Lin Yixuan came back from the banquet, what he saw was such a warm scene. The smile on his lips became softer unconsciously. He stretched out his hand to hug Chen'er, and asked with a smile: "Dad is not at home today. Have a good meal."

"Yes." Li Chen smiled sweetly, and picked up the tea bowl with little hands: "Daddy, drink."

Lin Yixuan's heart was about to melt, he was afraid that Chen'er would knock over the tea bowl, so he hurriedly took it over, fixed him on his lap, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Chen'er, be good."

The smile on Li Chen's face widened, and he rubbed his little butt irregularly: "Daddy is also good, Chen'er misses Daddy."

Lin Yixuan kissed Chen'er hard, this child is simply too sweet.

Seeing that Fu Lang was in a good mood, Li Yaonan asked with a smile, "How's your harvest today? See how happy you are."

Lin Yixuan waved his hand, and said in a bad mood: "Don't mention it, I played Tai Chi all afternoon, and I hardly ate anything. Is there any food at home?"

Li Yaonan glanced at him slightly reproachfully: "Why didn't you say it earlier."

Lin Yixuan chuckled, seeing their father and son in harmony, he was so happy that he forgot it for a moment.

Li Yaonan ordered his servants to prepare meals and teach his son to stop here for the day.Li Xu and Li Xi are both interested, Li Xu is quick to learn everything, and Li Xi is very fond of his father teaching him crooked ways.

Li Yaonan wouldn't take advantage of him, and he didn't forget to give Li Xi a lot of homework before leaving, as for Xu'er, he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Seeing Li Xi's sour face, Li Yaonan expressed that he was in a good mood, bullying his son or something, absolutely no pressure at all.

Lin Yixuan was amused, the son on the other side had a nasty look on his face, he had no sympathy at all, but the husband put on a bad face, so he naturally had to put on a bad face, smiled and comforted his son, let them go out to play.

When Li Xu was about to leave, his steps were brisk, but Li Xi looked particularly heavy. He deeply felt that his father was biased. With so much homework, how could he have time to play.

After the two sons left, Lin Yixuan talked about today's banquet with a smile. The crown prince's status was in jeopardy. The situation was becoming more and more tense. The prince and concubine tried to woo contacts and acted almost blatantly. He was really afraid that her husband would also be involved.

Li Yaonan didn't care too much, it was just his wife, he didn't think it would be a big deal, otherwise the emperor would leave Princess Linchuan alone, after all it is a man who decides.

Lin Yixuan glared at him: "You look down on your wife."

Li Yaonan hastily begged for mercy: "Absolutely not, a good wife and husband have few problems, how can those women compare to you."

Lin Yixuan snorted and expressed his forgiveness generously.

Li Yaonan wiped off his cold sweat, Fu Lang became more and more cautious.

The thinking of the husband and wife has temporarily reached synchronization, although the contrast is a bit big.

only……

You two are flirting, talking about plots and tricks, but holding Xiao Chen'er in your arms, is it really okay?

Lin Yixuan ate something hastily, and Li Yaonan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, after a few days of rest, I promised Brother Li to go to the Four Seas Bookstore to teach."

Lin Yixuan nodded: "Do you want to bring Xu'er and Xi'er?"

"Take it with you, let them go out to gain knowledge."

Lin Yixuan smiled and joked: "Remember to watch Xier closely."

Li Yaonan was speechless, there was a brat in the family, and he couldn't afford to be hurt.

In the next few days, apart from going to the yamen, Li Yaonan returned home, and the rest of the time was busy preparing lessons. His knowledge was extensive and profound. He understood his strengths and weaknesses. When it came to teaching, he remembered the symposium in college , Maybe he can change the way of teaching, instead of talking about those who are not, it is better to talk about some practical things, which is not only a precedent, but also attracts everyone's attention.

He has a very good reputation in Qingliu, but this is not enough. A person can be famous for a while, but how can he be famous for a lifetime? His ancestors can at least keep them safe for three generations. After a hundred years, whether they are good or bad depends on their abilities, and they can't control it if they want to.

However, when he is capable, he will try his best to create an environment to make the journey of the younger generation more smooth.

The most important thing is that the emperor is getting older, once the emperor and the courtiers, when the Holy Majesty is alive, he can have unlimited glory, but what about after the Holy Majesty passes away?He had to think about the future.

In recent days, temptations from all sides have annoyed him. It doesn't matter to offend the princes now, but who knows if he will hold grudges after the new emperor ascends the throne. Officialdom has never been so simple. If you want to remain neutral, you must Hold enough chips, otherwise, if you meet a stingy emperor, you will only be liquidated in the future. Such a situation is not what he likes to see.

All he has to do now is to increase the chips in his hands even more.

On the day of Xiumu, Li Yaonan led his two sons, Jin Yuxuan and Xin Zeqi, and a group of five went to the Four Seas Bookstore.

Li Mingzhang had been waiting for a long time, and his eyes were slightly apologetic: "Brother Donglin."

Li Yaonan glanced around, and instantly understood in his heart that there were only about thirty students who came to the class today, and all of them were from poor families.

Every once in a while, the Four Seas Bookstore will invite officials from the DPRK and China to give lectures. When it is most popular, a small bookstore is full of more than [-] people. The last time the imperial scholar gave a lecture, more than [-] people also came. People, the number of people who came to attend the class today is really not enough.

"No problem." Li Yaonan smiled lightly, real gold is not afraid of fire, and his popularity always accumulates slowly. He has been away from the capital for eight years. No matter how good his political performance in Yunnan is, there are thousands of miles away, and the news cannot be spread. In the capital city, it is already very good to have more than [-] people coming.

After setting up the two sons, Li Yaonan went straight into the classroom.Unlike the mustaches that are popular nowadays, Li Yaonan's chin is very smooth, and he looks good when he smiles, giving off a gentle and refined air.

"Master Li."

The students greeted him first.

"Sit down." Li Yaonan said with a smile, opened the manuscript prepared in his hand, and said straight to the point: "I won't talk to you about knowledge today, let's talk about the way of being an official."

The eyes of the [-] or so students below became bright instantly. Who didn't know that Mr. Li was a third-rank official at such a young age, if he could teach him a little bit, they would benefit endlessly.

Li Yaonan cleared his throat: "First of all, this is my personal opinion and some experience I have summed up, and it does not represent other ministers."

Thirty or so students concentrated their attention, Master Li summed up the experience, there is absolutely no mistake, Master Li does not have any backing behind him, he can go from a commoner to the position of a third-rank official in the court, this alone is enough to make They study, but they need to know that they are also poor students with no background.

"The way of being an official is to do good deeds for the people. It is to plead for orders and redress grievances for the people. Everyone may have some opinions and great wishes in their hearts. Confucius said: The superior is the model of the people. What is wrong! However, what I want to talk about today is not this."

Li Yaonan paused: "The next thing I want to talk about is my way of being an official. No loud noises are allowed during my lectures. I will leave time for you to ask questions later. Alright, now let's get to the point, let's take The famous and upright official Rui Hai from the previous dynasty gave an example, he was a great upright official who dedicated his life to the country and the people, do you all feel admiration?"

That's natural, more than [-] people nodded unconsciously, Master Rui Hai is their role model, but it's a pity that he was not born at a good time, in the last years of the previous dynasty, traitors were in power, even if there was an upright official like Rui Hai, the court could not be destroyed.

"However, what I want to say is that Rui Hai is a clean official, but not a good one."

As soon as Li Yaonan's words came out, the students below were in an uproar immediately, and some people glared at him even more. If Rui Hai is not a good official, then what kind of official can be considered a good official? leave.

Li Yaonan's expression froze, he made a solemn gesture to calm them down, and said with a straight face: "I said, no noise is allowed during my lectures, and you can answer questions after class. Please sit down now."

The classroom fell silent in an instant, and Li Yaonan cleared his throat: "You may have doubts, Mr. Rui Hai has been sober all his life, he has worked hard for officials, pleaded for orders for the people and is not afraid of power. It’s ridiculous that he’s suing the former emperor, don’t you think it’s very majestic, you think Rui Hai is fearless and he lives up to his reputation of being a man of integrity.”

"However, why did he, why did he fight the emperor? In order to sue Emperor Han Cheng, Rui Hai fulfilled his life of clarity. Emperor Han Cheng was forced by the situation and indeed did not punish him. Rui Hai won a big victory. From now on The prestige among the people has been raised to a higher level, but do you know how many people died after the incident and how many people were implicated by him when Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was furious?

"Death is lighter than a feather, and heavier than Mount Tai. If Rui Hai's move has an effect and makes Emperor Hancheng repent, I may still say a word of admiration, but what about the result, can you tell me?"

The students below had a difficult expression, but in the end there was no result. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty still went his own way and favored the adulterer. Master Rui Hai was miserable in his later years, and died of poverty because of poverty.

Li Yaonan didn't really want them to answer, but instead said: "Let's not talk about this point, Mr. Rui Hai has no room for sand in his eyes all his life, and he has handled many cases of corrupt officials. Now let's talk about it. several major cases."

"Wei Hanliang everyone knows that he is very famous among the cases that Rui Hai handled. I still remember that it was recorded in the history books that this case was famous for a while. Gilded, he made a lot of money when he was in office, and he was convicted of countless wrongful cases. Master Rui Hai was ruthless and sentenced him to death. The people applauded him at the time. You think he is right, right? Rui Hai’s move is indeed for the people .”

Seeing that the people below were not convinced, Li Yaonan smiled slightly and calmed their emotions: "I also think he is right." Then he changed the subject: "You are familiar with history books, I wonder if you have read the major criminal cases in various places in the previous dynasty? , if you haven’t read it, then let’s start with the case of Rui Hai toppled Shangshu.”

"What Shangshu of the Household Department committed at that time, more than 200 million relief funds were seized. The place where the disaster was affected was the place where Wei Hanliang was beheaded. Shangshu did everything he could to avenge his son, only suffering the local people. Ruihai spent three years, It can be said that it has gone through untold hardships in order to bring down the Minister of the Household Department, but can the sufferings of the common people wear off?"

"Could it be that we just let the corrupt officials do nothing?" Some people couldn't help but questioned at that time. What Mr. Li said today had too much impact on them.

Li Yaonan smiled and replied: "How could it be ignored? Wei Hanliang is not suitable to be an official at all, but you can't deny that Rui Hai's method of handling the case is too extreme. It is indeed very satisfying to behead Wei Hanliang, but it will leave endless troubles."

"so what should I do now?"

"The Minister of the Household Department is very powerful. Unless the corrupt officials are left alone, there is nothing to do."

"Yes."

"..."

"Okay." Li Yaonan patted the table: "Everyone be quiet, if you have any questions, ask questions after class, now listen carefully to me."

All the students immediately fell silent, and their expressions became more focused. What Mr. Li said and thought were all things they had never considered, but these really shocked them inexplicably. Behind an honest and honest official, if Based on the suffering of the people, wouldn't the so-called pleading for the people become a joke.

"The case of Wei Hanliang, due to its long history, is not recorded in detail in the case file, and I am not sure how I would decide the case at that time, but I am sure of one thing, no matter what the consequences are, I will kill it in the bud. With Wei Hanliang's criminal evidence, I will use it to negotiate when the enemy is strong and we are weak."

"Now let me tell you about my working situation in Yunnan. At that time, the aboriginal people in Yunnan were very powerful, with absurd governors and aristocratic families. As an upright and honest official, I guess he would severely punish the aristocratic family and sue the aristocratic family. Governor."

Is not it?All the students had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Li Yaonan smiled softly: "Of course not. If you overthrow the aristocratic family, wouldn't the private economy be in chaos? Sue the governor, this kind of thing that hits a stone with an egg, do you still want the black hat on your head?"

"Benefits, where there are people, there are fights, and there are also interests. There will never be no cracks in the family. Sowing dissension and dividing them is the countermeasure I thought at the time. As for the governor, I also chose to curry favor. I think that the first thing an official needs to do is to assess the situation, and the second is to be able to bend and stretch. With these two guarantees, you can then do practical things. The official still wanted to do a few big and vigorous things, and then disappeared."

All the students were engrossed, knowing that the main point of Master Li was coming, nonsense, reading and taking the imperial examination, who is not for the glory of the lintel, who does not want to do facts for the people, who does not want to be promoted step by step, if the official is only for a moment of integrity, then later Who is willing to bother and work hard to take the imperial examination when there is no redemption.They also wanted to be like Mr. Li, who held a high position at a young age.
