Chapter 084: The Heart of Peace

Later, Gu Chongan learned that this old man was the servant of Zhou Chong, the great Confucian of Jinzhou, and it was Zhou Chong's influence that he would know so much and think so deeply.

After leaving that alley, Gu Chong'an's flushed face slowly returned to normal. From time to time, a breeze blows, which makes him feel cool and clears his mind.

His face flushed out of shame. Before coming to Jinju, he was bent on completing the characters of the secretary province as soon as possible, and enriching the collection of the secretary province to support the royal road; After coming to Jinju, he lamented the scarcity of books and songs in Jinju, regretted that Jinju was not good at literature, and his heart was heavy......

He thought a lot, but he didn't think about how the secretary province would benefit the people, but he didn't think about what the secretary provincial officials could do for the people. As a secretary, he is in charge of teaching scriptures and books, what can he do for the people?

Gu Chong'an thought about why those poor children were not humble, because they were touching books and touching the meridians of etiquette and reason. The book is not just for the king's use, but its purest and most important function is to guide people to reason. But has the secretary done that? Not really.

The secretary of the province has collected customs over the years, recorded the customs of the times, and enriched the collection of books, which is indeed a meritorious event, but for the people of Dading, can they receive these merits? Not really.

What Gu Chong'an saw here in Jinju is not.

The children of ordinary people stopped at county and state schools, and mastered more and more knowledge, and those who were powerful and wealthy, who only accounted for a very small part of the people of Dayong. More often than not, there are people who want to study but have no way to enter. Just like the little kids who went to school in the alley.

Zheng Shiyong has managed Taiyuan Mansion well, and here in Jinzhou, ordinary people still have no way to study, so what about the other eight prefectures in Dading?

The more Gu Chongan thought about this, the heavier his steps became. These were things he had never thought of before coming to Jinju.

In the next few days, people knew reason, official learning was difficult, and King Wen Dao was scurrying around in his mind, making him absent-minded in dealing with the collection of style. Until Ge Hong kindly asked him if something had happened. Gu Chongan came back to his senses slightly.

"Xia Guan is fine. Please rest assured. Gu Chongan said.

It was difficult for him to say to others what he was thinking, and besides, he only had a hazy idea, but he couldn't grasp it. I don't know what to say to Ge Hong.

"It's fine. It seems to be hotter here in Jinju than in Gyeongzhao. There are still a few days left before we can return to Jingzhao. Endure and endure again. Ge Hong said with a smile. He also thought that Gu Chong'an was wilting these days because he couldn't stand the environment in Jinju.

Gu Zhong Annuo said yes, grateful for Ge Hong's thoughtfulness. He is really a kind Shangguan.

In fact, compared to the anxiety and torment in my heart, the heat I feel on my body is really nothing.

Gu Chongan always felt that there should be a way to do the things in his head. There should be a way for the people to benefit from the scriptures and scriptures, and there should be a way for ordinary people to learn a clear way, but what is this method, he always feels hazy in his mind, and he can't grasp it for a while.

In the evening of this day, Gu Chongan came to the alley again. This time, he didn't see the old man patiently teaching him there, only the poor children, some of them curled up on bamboo chairs, and some of them shed tears.

What's going on?

When Gu Chong'an asked like this, several children stood up at once, they leaned close together, looking at Gu Chong'an nervously, there was obviously fear in this nervousness, as if they were worried about what Gu Chong'an would do to them.

The table of these children is too different from the last time I saw them. All of a sudden, something must have happened.

Thinking of this, Gu Chong'an softened his tone and asked with a smile: "I know the old man, otherwise I wouldn't have come to him, where did he go?" ”

Gu Chong'an's appearance is not as handsome as Gu Chongting, and he does not have Gu Zhan and Shanci's eyebrows occasionally showing majesty, he is dignified and generous, giving people a sense of stability and being able to trust.

Sure enough, the little boy who was the leader looked at Gu Chongan cautiously for a while, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Grandpa Zhou is not here, he was arrested by the people of the Yamen!" ”

As soon as the little boy finished speaking, the children next to him couldn't hold back any longer, all of them had red eyes, and one of the youngest even cried "woo", and the snot flowed down.

"Captured! Grandpa Zhou was taken away...... ""When will grandpa come back......" The miserable cries were everywhere, Gu Chongan had no son, he never knew the boy's tears, and he would come as soon as he said it.

But now is not the time to talk about this, Gu Chongan patiently comforted these children and pieced together the whole story from their mouths. After knowing what happened, Gu Chongan felt anger surging, and his originally generous face looked a little scary.

The little boy who was still snotty, as soon as he saw Gu Chong'an's appearance, sucked his snot back again, and looked at Gu Chong'an in fear.

"Grandpa Zhou's family has gone to Taiyuan Mansion to invite someone...... Grandpa Zhou was arrested because of us......" The boy was calm, but he couldn't help but tremble when he spoke.

"It's not because you...... Don't worry, Grandpa Zhou will be back soon, I promise he will be back soon! Gu Chongan said this, with resoluteness in his eyes.

When he said this, he raised his voice, but the children were less afraid, and they looked at Gu Chong'an with sparkling eyes, hoping that this uncle could really save Grandpa Zhou, and strongly hoped.

After Gu Chongan left the alley, he didn't have time to think about his complicated feelings, so he hurriedly found Ge Hong, told him about it, and asked Ge Hong to help him and save people from Jinju Prison.

"What a ridiculous fallacy in the world! People like Zhou Lao, who tried his best to teach the children with what he had learned weakly, were actually detained in the name of a private school! He's teaching children to read and reason, what's wrong with that! At the end, Gu Chongan said in a deep voice, and there was still a trace of fierceness in his eyes.

Ge Hong looked at the excited Gu Chong'an with a stunned expression, not quite understanding why he was like this. Gu Chong'an has always given him the feeling that he is mediocre, loyal and honest and does not go on business trips, and he has never seen such an angry and angry table like now.

Besides, his words are too weird. Why did that person be detained, this is obvious: private school!

So, Ge Hong said suspiciously: "Chong'an, the imperial court prohibits privately setting up apprentices, and that person is wrong to do this!" ”

Ge Hong's puzzled words fell on Gu Chong'an's head like a downpour, and he was so shocked that his eyes widened, and his mouth was slightly open. The downpour is falling, of course, it is thunder and lightning, this is Gu Chong'an's mood at this moment. As if he had suddenly realized something, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Privately setting up apprentices is wrong, wrong! It's wrong!

"Chong'an, you're fine, right?" Ge Hong looked at his subordinates worriedly, he looked like he was hitting with a big hand, it couldn't be something, right? Seeing that he is about to return to Jingzhao, it is better not to have anything happen.

Gu Chongan took a deep breath, and replied in a hoarse voice: "The lower officials have nothing to do, nothing to do." ”

His heart trembled slightly, it was indeed nothing, not only was there nothing, but the fog that had been lingering in his mind for a long time was lifted, no longer hazy, and Gu Chongan could clearly see what he was thinking in his heart.

Immediately, he said pleadingly: "Please rest assured, my lordship, the official is fine." It's just that the old man has some friendship with Xiaguan, and he asked the adult to act as Zhou Xuan, and Xiaguan is grateful. ”

He ran back to find Ge Hong as soon as possible, knowing that Ge Hong and Jinzhou Sigong Ren Ying had a friendship with each other, and as long as Ge Hong could reach out to help, the old man would be able to get out of prison. It's just teaching a few children, what kind of private school is it?

"Okay, I'll go to Lord Ren and talk about it." Finally, Ge Hong replied. Listening to the details of what Gu Chong'an said clearly, Ge Hong also felt that Ren Ying was not kind to this matter, and it was too much of a fuss for an old man.

Gu Chongan was grateful, he understood that Ge Hong was able to say this, not only because he was his subordinate, but also because he had a Gu family behind him. But Ge Hong doesn't have to ask for affection, no matter what, he is grateful.

Old Man Zhou was finally released, but he was not allowed to teach these children anymore. The old man suffered a lot in prison, and his spirit was not as good as before, and even if he wanted to teach, he didn't have the energy and mind anymore.

Later, the great Confucian Zhou Chong also came to the alley of Jinzhou, looked at his former loyal servant, sighed, and then said, "Why bother? ”

When Zhou Chong said this, Gu Chongan happened to be in the alley. When he heard these three words, he didn't say anything, but bent down at Old Man Zhou and said respectfully: "Uncle, I'm going back to Jingzhao, please take care of yourself." ”

He didn't even look at Zhou Chong, Da Confucian, it's just that. Confucianism has no love for the people, no intention of sticking to it, Gu Chongan doesn't know why he is big. In his opinion, Zhou Chong was not as good as his servants.

Old man Zhou struggled and said to Gu Chong'an: "Thank you, my lord, fortunately, my lord helped, Zhou is grateful......" The old man originally thought that Zhou Chong had saved him, but later he realized that it was the middle-aged man who listened to him who really helped.

It turned out that he was the secretary of the provincial official for this collection, no wonder he would ask so many things, it turned out to be for the secretary of the province.

"My husband is polite, thank you for this, it should be Gu Mou's words." Gu Chongan said with a smile, with sincerity on his face.

He was indeed immensely grateful to the old man, and if it weren't for the old man and these things, he might never have known his heart, let alone followed his own.
