Chapter One Hundred and Five
In a delicate courtyard in a county in Sichuan, a lady greeted her husband to the inner courtyard with a spring breeze on her face, and said with a letter: "I soon received a reply from my father-in-law this time, it seems that my father-in-law still attaches great importance to our Confucianism, and this post post in the imperial court is really good." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xianggong take a look, what did the father-in-law say? This lady is Kong Shanglan's wife Cui, who was originally the sister of Kong Shanglan's classmate. When Kong Shanglan was studying in Shanle Academy, Cui's eldest brother Cui Piye was a gentle person, and he was particularly enthusiastic about helping his classmates in trouble, to put it bluntly, he was a bit of a mother-in-law, but for Kong Shanglan, who was just a teenager and was sent to the mountains by his biological father to study, it was simply a male god-like existence. Seeing that Kong Shanglan was always alone, so when the academy was closed and on vacation, Cui Piye often took Kong Shanglan home to live, and Kong Shanglan gradually became familiar with the Cui family. Cui's father is a small county magistrate in a local county in Jiangnan, although the official position is small, but he is a diligent and pragmatic good official, Kong Shanglan and Cui Piye followed Cui's father to learn a lot of pragmatic things when dealing with official affairs. Who knew that at that time, the Zhen family in Jiangnan was domineering, and a side branch of the Zhen family seized the land of a rich family in the county, and also snatched the daughter who was just thirteen years old home to be the eighteenth concubine, the woman did not obey, and hanged herself directly, and the side branch of the Zhen family not only felt guilty, but said that the rich family owed him a life, and killed his wife. The rich man complained to Cui County Order, Cui County Order was arrested and persuaded to leave this matter alone, but if Cui County Order was a person who could stand by and watch, he would not have taught such an enthusiastic child as Cui Piye.
Who knew that the Zhen family didn't know how to use their hands and eyes to the sky, and fished out the person who had been sentenced to death, not to mention, but even arrested the rich family's entire family in a room and burned them alive. Cui Xianling knew that he had a bad heart, so he sent his daughter to Leshan Academy overnight to look for her son, and asked her to bring a letter, which was not allowed to be opened. So when Cui Piye received this letter, Cui County Ling and his wife had already been killed together because of the gangsters' attack on the county government. Cui Piye, who knew about this, wanted to take revenge like crazy, but he was stunned by Kong Shanglan and Cui's joint efforts, in order to keep the last bloodline of the Cui family, the Cui brothers and sisters followed Kong Shanglan back to Shandong overnight, so as to avoid dying in the hands of the Zhen family. On the way back to Shandong, Kong Shanglan proposed to Cui Piye, saying that he wanted to marry Cui's family, so he said that he was decided, and exchanged tokens. It was not until this time that the Cui brothers and sisters knew that Cui Piye's down-and-out classmate was actually a descendant of the Confucian family in Qufu, Shandong, and the second son. Cui Piye was worried that his sister would not be able to get along with a high-ranking concubine after marrying, and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and finally Kong Shanglan assured him that the wedding must be held in the Kong family, and he would leave the Kong family immediately after the wedding, and he would never let his wife suffer any trouble, of course, he did what he said, and Cui Piye was relieved. Although the Zhen family guessed that it should be Kong Shanglan who took away the Cui brothers and sisters, in the end, because of the Kong family, they still gave up chasing and killing the Cui family brothers and sisters.
With his sister's marriage to worry about Cui Piye, and then Cui and Kong Shanglan persuaded him many times, Cui Piye also hid the hatred in his heart, changed his name and surname in order to avenge his father in the future, and he didn't dare to take the imperial examination again for so many years, so he had to be a staff member by Kong Shanglan's side. In the past fifteen years, the Zhen family has done one thing after another, and finally rebelled, and finally caused the disaster of extermination, and the day they learned that the enemy died, Cui and his brother cried happily with a headache. Cui Piye has restored his surname openly, ready to re-participate in the imperial examination, has been a staff member for so many years, and has seen Kong Shanglan's methods, Cui Piye has also changed from a promiscuous person who is old-fashioned and warm-hearted to a person who gives and takes, hatred has not blinded his eyes, and he is now more looking forward to showing his ambitions under the leadership of the new emperor.
This is all a later story, and it is said that the Cui family is not treated by her in-laws after marriage, so even Kong Su has an opinion on Kong Shanglan, and the two of them also low-key rely on Kong Shanglan's own ability to find a position as a county magistrate somewhere in Sichuan, and they are doing well. Normally, Kong Shanglan rarely writes letters to Kong Su, but this time, because his son is also in high school, he thought about how to make his father happy, so he said that he wrote a letter. As a result, after writing the letter, something happened that shocked the entire imperial court, and the crown prince and the eighth elder brother actually united to rebel! The great shock of officialdom kept Kong Shanglan busy for a long time, and it was not until Shangguan went to the capital to attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and after he was free, he remembered to send a letter to his father. At that time, the post had been operating for a long time, and the mail was already very fast, but even so, it would take a long time for Kong Shanglan to receive a reply from his father, and it was estimated that his father would be able to remember him when he was really idle. But I didn't expect my father to reply to the letter in a few days this time, he looked at the envelope, and couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in his heart. After reading the letter, I was in a worse mood.
Seeing the expression of his father-in-law, Cui couldn't help but complain again in his heart that his father-in-law was so partial, but he smiled gently and said to Kong Shanglan: "My father-in-law didn't give Xiu Ru a congratulatory gift, and my husband doesn't have to be so sad, it's a big deal, let's write it down in the account book, and when I went back to see my mother-in-law, I asked me to come, and I promised that it would not be less than the Xiu Xian of the uncle's family." ā
Kong Shanglan knew that his wife was comforting herself, and after thinking about her father's request, she couldn't help but sigh again and said: "The emperor ordered Xiuxian to compile a book, Xiuxian didn't want to go, so my father thought that Xiuru was also in the Hanlin Academy, and wanted to ask Xiuru to replace Xiuxian." ā
Cui Shi was surprised: "How can this be replaced?" Impostor is a crime of deception! ā
Kong Shanglan said: "I'm just angry about this, my father actually asked me to write a letter to persuade Xiuru to propose it to the emperor, isn't this ruining my son's future?" ā
Cui Shi saw Kong Shanglan and was a little excited, she hurriedly took her husband's hand, she had seen with her own eyes how this father-in-law favored her husband's free-spirited uncle, and also thanks to the uncle's free and easy temperament, her husband didn't want his brother to be a wall, otherwise if this father-in-law was unfair, her husband would have been in trouble with the uncle.
Kong Shanglan calmed down for a while, and then said: "Actually, the matter of repairing books is not necessarily a bad thing, although now that the princes have seized the throne and the new emperor has taken office, the emperor is still alive, and depending on the emperor's temperament, the emperor will be in control for another two years, and the emperor's ministers are okay, do newcomers like Confucianism want to be loyal to the emperor or the emperor?" It's better to go and repair the book and hide quietly. ā
Cui Shi nodded again and again when he heard this, but he was strange: "In that case, why did my father-in-law let Xiuru go?" "It is impossible for my father-in-law to think about Confucianism because he is good in the Confucianism exam, everything is not necessary for Confucius Xiuxian, so it is possible to take the turn of Confucianism.
