Be a master through ancient times

In the past few days, the news from other prefectures has been satisfactory.After they went back to discuss, they all expressed that they would implement new teaching materials and new teaching styles in Fuchu, and they also attached the quantity that needs to be ordered.

Chu Ci looked at it, and then added up the orders from several prefectures, and found that it was more than the fifteen thousand he had estimated.

Yes, after all, this is a province. Although it can't compare with the millions of students in modern times, there are still more than 2 students.

He handed over the order to Wang Ming and asked him to handle the matter and be responsible for the follow-up supervision and distribution after publication.Wang Ming took the order and was about to leave when Chu Ci stopped him again and told him the purchase price that he had negotiated with the bookstore.

"My lord, do we report to other prefectures... also at this price?" Wang Ming asked tentatively. In his opinion, it is not very good to do things that only work hard and get nothing in return.

Chu Ci raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled: "No need, the other prefectures have a lot of land and resources, and they have a lot of output, so let's give them an extra two Wen at the original price. Remember to register the extra money and use it to fill the school fees." The company's deficit."

Let him also be a middleman for a while, and make a little difference.They have a lot of monthly expenses for the Department of Education. In addition to student newspapers, scholarships are also a lot of money.Just pointing to the appropriation from above and the output of the school field, life is really tight.

Hearing what Chu Ci said, Wang Ming immediately regained his energy.He has also been doing financial affairs in the past few months, so he naturally knows that there is not much money left in the accounts of the Department of Education, so it would be great if he could make up for it now.He roughly estimated the price difference he could earn, and left excitedly.

After Wang Ming left, Chu Ci sat in the study in a daze for a while, then thought of something, bent down and took out a bright yellow notebook from the hidden compartment of the table.

It was not an excuse for him to say that he had received a secret letter when he arrived late that day, because he had indeed received it.It's just that the content of the secret decree surprised him a little.

He originally thought that the emperor wanted to order him to do something, such as secretly observing the situation in southern Fujian and finding out Lin Futong's accomplices.Or look carefully for traces of Japanese people.

However, this letter didn't mention anything about it, and didn't even ask about the situation of the students in Zhangzhou Prefecture. some situations.

After receiving the letter that day, after opening it and reading it, Chu Ci was in a daze for a moment.He couldn't help recalling that when he was in the capital, was he really someone who was in the emperor's heart, and had he and the holy majesty reached a level of friendship where they could speak intimately?Otherwise, why would the Holy Majesty suddenly send him such a secret letter in such an intimate tone?

Since the father-in-law who was in charge of delivering the decree was still waiting for his reply, he could only quickly organize his words in his mind, and tried his best to reply him a letter in a relaxed, natural and respectful tone for his father-in-law to take back. cross.

In the following days, he always took out this secret letter to read when he had nothing to do, as if he wanted to find out the secret hidden in it.But no matter how many times I read it, this is just a very ordinary letter like a letter between friends.

Chu Ci felt a little bald, as the ancients said, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, so you really don't deceive me!He always believed that the emperor had other intentions, so he couldn't really send a letter all the way to amuse him, could he?

In fact, sometimes the truth is very simple, just as Chu Ci thought it was impossible to guess, this letter is indeed the product of Tianhedi's impulsive impulse.

……

At that time, it was time to go to court, and nothing major had happened recently. Tianhe Emperor was not feeling well recently, and he was sitting on a high dragon chair, half-closed his eyes, listening to the officials below him.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, which startled him.After calling someone in and asking, it turned out that Mu Yuanxiu, the imperial envoy, had submitted an urgent report and was waiting outside the door at the moment.

Emperor Tianhe ordered someone to summon him in, and after submitting the urgent report, he opened it and looked, and immediately flew into a rage!

"What a Lin Futong! What a feudal official! What a loyal minister for the country and the people!"

Seeing that Longyan was furious, the officials below immediately bowed and saluted, while still chanting "The Holy Majesty appeases the anger, the ministers are in fear".

Tianhedi took a few deep breaths before suppressing the burgeoning anger in his heart a little.

The content of this urgent report is some evidence of Lin Futong's crimes collected by Mu Yuanxiu, including: murdering and framing a province to learn from Qi Luzhi; secretly colluding with salt merchants from other provinces to sell private salt for profit; accepting high bribes It almost caused a catastrophe. Afraid of being discovered, they sent people to wipe out the witnesses' family. In the end, they even wanted to fight to the death, ordering people to rob and kill the imperial envoy and so on.

When Tianhedi saw it for the first time, he couldn't believe his eyes. This is the governor of a province!Their Great Wei only has thirteen provinces in total!The numerous crimes are too numerous to list, and even Lin Futong's several heads are not enough to chop off!

Emperor Tianhe also knew the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, but he did not expect that this fish had muddied a pool of water, and then wantonly swallowed the fish and shrimp in the pool, turning himself into a giant.He couldn't help thinking deeply, this fish is like this, what about other fish?Will he be as safe as he thought?Or did it grow secretly where he couldn't see it?

No one can stand suspicion. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is not far from discovering the truth.

Emperor Tianhe made a decision in his heart at the moment. He waved his hand to make the panicked officials stand up straight, and then ordered someone to pass on the urgent report sent by Mu Yuanxiu, so that all officials above the second rank could read it.

After the officials saw it, expressions of shock and anger appeared on their faces, as if they were completely ignorant of Lin Futong's evil deeds and did not agree at all.

However, there is one person who feels like sitting on pins and needles at the moment, and he is Mr. Wei Wenwei, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.At the same time when Zhu Wei, Marshal of the Naval Garrison of Southern Fujian Province, submitted a report to impeach Lin Fu, some people thought that Lin Futong should be arrested for interrogation, but these people headed by him maintained that Lin Futong was innocent and spoke for him. Lots of good things to say.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, soaking the clothes on his back in a short while.He lowered his head and bowed his body, for fear that the emperor or his colleagues who were opposed to him would remember what happened before.

A good spirit is not a bad spirit, sometimes the more you fear something, the more it will happen.

Someone came forward and said: "The sinner Lin Fu is also a high-ranking member of the province. He regards human life as worthless, and regards the court's laws and regulations as nothing. He has committed a heinous crime. He should punish his nine clans to show God's power."

Emperor Tianhe thought for a while after listening, and said: "The words of the nine clans are not enough. The three clans will be punished, and everyone else will be reduced to official slaves. They will not be allowed to redeem themselves within three generations, and they will not be allowed to enter official positions within five generations."

Compared with Zhu Jiu Clan, this punishment is still relatively light.But this took away all hope of a family and drove them to the bottom of the valley. They didn't know whether it was better for them to live or die.

The adults present were a little bit embarrassed when they heard such a verdict, but no one thought it should be a disaster to their children and grandchildren.A person and his family have always been in the same spirit, a relationship of prosperity and prosperity, and a relationship of loss and loss.When Lin Futong was a high-ranking official, his entire family benefited from it, and everyone was proud of being a descendant of the Lin family.Now that the incident between Lin Fu and Dong Chuang has happened, their community of interests is naturally inseparable.

After dealing with Lin Futong, someone played again.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the sinner Lin Futong jumps over the wall in such a hurry, I think it has something to do with one person."

"who is it?"

"It is Mr. Wei, the servant of the Criminal Ministry. You know, Zhu Wei has already noticed this matter when Lin Futong first showed his feet. I remember that Mr. Wei has been defending him at that time, thinking that Lin Futong is innocent. I think, If Lin Futong had been stopped at that time, it is estimated that he would not have made more mistakes."

Mr. Wei's mind was agitated, and he stood up immediately: "My lord, I have been wronged! I remembered that I said a few words for Lin Futong, but it was just the instinct of investigating the case, and I didn't intend to excuse him. , please also ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten me."

Tianhedi had forgotten about this before, but they immediately remembered it when they reminded them.He looked at Mr. Wei, and said: "Mr. Fang just said that it is reasonable, but for the sake of your hard work, you should fine your salary for three months as an example."

Master Wei quickly knelt down, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, it's not that Tianhedi didn't want to punish him severely.Now he doesn't like anyone related to Lin Futong.It's just that, at that time, he ordered the imperial envoy to investigate. He couldn't even order it for his own face, right?

After dealing with this matter, Emperor Tianhe retreated to the Royal Study Room.He thought about it, and always felt that there was a depression in his heart that was difficult to relieve.

He looked through all the letters sent by Nan Fujian Province recently, and finally found that there was a person with a particularly high appearance rate.Just like Lin Fu's co-case today, he solved it all by himself.

Thinking about all the things this person had in the capital, and remembering the joy of chatting with him, Tianhedi took up a pen and wrote a secret letter on the spur of the moment.
