Chapter 129: Tea House Gossip

The so-called Ruixue Mega Year, Ye Yu sat in the backyard in an official uniform, looking at the scattered snowflakes and thinking of such a proverb.

In such a snowy scene, if you are an ordinary literati, you will definitely chant a few poems. But Ye Yu was different, he thought of not the poems that praised and expressed his feelings, but the beautiful benefits that this snow brought to the people.

At this moment, Ye Yu heard a noisy sound coming from the front hall of the county government, and it didn't take long for Sun Juyang to walk in. Ye Yu turned his head and asked softly, "On this snowy day, there are still people to complain?" ”

"Your Excellency is wise, and it is an old woman who beats the drums and sounds far away, saying that she has a grievance and begs your lord to try it!"

When Ye Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There is no one who lives in peace for a day, since there is a grievance, you have to avenge it!" Let's go, open the trial! ”

Immediately, a group of officials performed their duties and stood on both sides of the public hall, and the third class of officials, the group of ants, and Sun Juyang sat on the side to make a record, and the entire county government looked orderly.

Ye Yu gave an order and led the old woman who was beating the drum far away.

"The old man knocks on the blue sky...... "The old woman is a woman over sixty years old, with silver hair and a haggard face.

Ye Yu saw that this old man was so old, and he couldn't bear to be shocked, so as not to frighten this old woman.

So he changed his usual majesty, and asked softly with a pleasant face: "Old man, what are you doing to beat the drum and beat far away, you might as well come one by one, and the official can avenge you!" ”

"Lord, the old man only wants his youngest son back......"

The old woman told Ye Yu in tears that the main reason why she beat the drum and sounded far away.

It turned out that the old woman was a widow and was now in her sixties. Originally, there were two sons under his knees, the eldest son farmed at home, and the second son became a monk.

Later, the eldest son unfortunately died, leaving the widow and old woman with no one to take care of, and she was really lonely and pitiful. This old woman has the heart to let her youngest son return home, firstly, to continue the incense at home, and secondly, to wait for her to return to old age for a hundred years so that there will be someone to send her to the end.

This is a very reasonable and humane thing, but when the old woman went to Mida Temple and asked the abbot for help. The abbot Mingyuan rejected the old woman's request in one bite.

After that, the old woman said that there were two big cars, but the abbot of Mingyuan refused to agree. It is the rule of monks to claim that since they are monks, they should not be frivolous and vulgar......

The old woman burst into tears, kowtowed and begged Ye Yu to come forward.

After listening to this story, Ye Yu expressed sympathy for the old woman's situation, but also was angry at the abbot of the Mida Temple.

At this time, Sun Juyang came to Ye Yu and said softly: "My lord, this matter is actually no wonder that the abbot of Mingyuan ......."

"Oh? According to the meaning of the scribe, is it the fault of this old man? ”

As soon as Ye Yu heard that Sun Juyang interceded on behalf of the defendant, he was inexplicably unhappy. This is when a monk monk has no rules to force the truth, no matter how sacred the Buddhist family is, you can't forget the grace of filial piety!

Sun Juyang saw Ye Yu's displeasure, and he was not annoyed, but patiently explained: "Presumably adults don't know that not everyone can become a monk in this dynasty, otherwise wouldn't they all become monks?" ”

"Anyone who intends to become a monk must have a degree as a credential in order to enter the temple as a monk! This example is not only a control of the number of monks, but also a kind of regulation of monks! ”

"I see......"

Sun Juyang's reminder made Ye Yu understand many of the rules, but then said: "Even so, this Mingyuan monk is too arrogant!" My Great Song Dynasty established the country with filial piety, if his son can't do his filial piety, how can he talk about monks respecting Buddha? ”

Ye Yu said as he picked up a brush from the table and wrote two lines on the blank paper: The monk has a re-collector, and the widow has no reborn son.

"There is a Laosun scribe who went to Mida Temple, and handed over this note to the monk Mingyuan, so that he can consider it!" After Ye Yu finished speaking, he handed the note to the scribe Sun, and then ordered the old lady to follow the scribe Sun to the Mida Temple.

Scribe Sun glanced at the two lines of words on the note, but he was very admired in his heart, and said to himself: "My lord is really extraordinary, just a few words, it has already made this abbot of Mingyuan have no way to retreat!" ”

Du Shuangyu on the side was not very literate, tilted his head to look at it for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Monks can't be vulgar and vulgar, this is a court regulation, just these few words for adults, can it work?" ”

Du Shuangyu's doubts made Scrivener Sun laugh self-deprecatingly: "The glue is not sticky, the sugar is not sweet, and the salt is not salty." Don't look at the words, but the pepper is small and spicy, and the weighing hammer is small and presses thousands of pounds......"

"Adults are so young, but they are not inferior to anyone in terms of skills and talents, can they judge their abilities by age? These words are also the same truth, although there are few words, they have already poked at Mingyuan's heart! ”

The scribe Sun put the note in his arms and took several officials and the old woman to the Mida Temple.

After that, the abbot of Mida Temple, Mingyuan, was silent for a moment after reading Ye Yu's two words, and then sighed slightly, and let the old woman's youngest son return home.

Abbot Mingyuan didn't expect that he originally occupied a favorable position, but was refuted by Ye Yu's words, and immediately became a passive end. If he doesn't let go all the time, it will seem that he doesn't understand people!

……

Ye Yu has been in a very bad mood these days, because after Zhuo Fengkai's case before, although it has been properly handled, the aftermath still affects himself.

A group of ministers in the DPRK and China, led by Yu Yunwen, impeached Ye Yu for not being able to govern An Feng unfavorably, so that the prisoner died in prison, and demanded that Ye Yu's official position as the editor of the Hanlin Academy be removed!

The appointment and dismissal of ordinary official positions does not need to alarm Xiaozong Zhao Yan at all, and the appointment and dismissal can be directly carried out by the officials. However, Ye Yu, the official position of the Hanlin Academy, was specially reserved by Zhao Yan, the filial piety emperor.

Therefore, if you want to be deposed, you must go through the pass of Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan didn't expect that it had only been half a year, and he would come to impeach Ye Yu again. was going to ignore it, but Huang Borui, the secretary of the ministry, also came forward and publicly approved the dismissal of Ye Yu from the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Huang Borui's appearance, although he is only one person, already represents Zhang Shuo's party, and tacitly cooperates with Yu Yunwen and others. In the eyes of these two groups of people, Ye Yu is a two-faced unpleasant person.

Zhuo Fengkai's matter, Yu Yunwen didn't like Ye Yu's stumbling at the critical moment! Zhang said that he didn't like Ye Yu to pretend to be smart, although the incident was calmed down, the root of this incident was still provoked by Ye Yu!

Therefore, for Ye Yu, an unlikable person, the two sides formed an unprecedented tacit understanding......

In the end, they finally won, and Ye Yu was dismissed from the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy!

For this Hanlin Academy editor, Ye Yu doesn't take it very seriously, because it is really meaningless to hang an official name with no real power! Besides, when he planned not to join either side, he had already guessed the bumps along the way!

And what made Ye Yu feel speechless the most was that he had been working hard for so long, and he had even gotten the words "poor governance", these people were really idle and had nothing to do.

After hearing the old woman's case, he saw that it was not early, so he prepared to go out to inspect the people.

The teahouse tavern has always been a place where news is concentrated, and it is also a place for literati and writers to gossip! Ye Yu was accompanied by Qiulan and came to a teahouse to eat tea.

With Ye Yu's current appearance, there is no one in the county who does not know him, which makes Ye Yu have no choice. So I informed the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and while keeping it strictly confidential, I looked for a wing room close to the hall.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse recognized Ye Yu at a glance, and the overjoyed shopkeeper arranged for Ye Yu to be in a wing room near the living room according to Ye Yu's instructions.

There are a lot of tea drinkers in the hall, although most of them are literati, but there are also many people from all walks of life! In winter, especially during this snowy season, people in the countryside will hide in their homes to bake the fire.

The entertainment and pastimes of the people in the city are naturally much richer, but most of this time, everyone is very keen to eat tea and chat in the teahouse. When there are more people, an atmosphere is formed, and if you have an atmosphere, you won't feel the cold in the house!

This is a kind of culture, a lot of Chinese culture about teahouses!

Ye Yu listened to the people in the hall, laughter and laughter were in full swing, and there were a few words of laughter and scolding during the period, but at this moment, it made people feel very harmonious.

This unique culture will not be repeated in later generations. Ye Yu picked up the teacup and muttered to himself as he tasted tea.

"Oh, it's another harvest year after this heavy snow!" A slightly chubby middle-aged man picked up a teacup and looked at the snowflakes outside the building, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

A middle-aged man beside him smiled heartily: "Lao Li, your more than 100 acres of fertile land outside the city will have a good harvest in the coming year!" ”

"Ahem! This is not thanks to our county magistrate, if it weren't for the construction of a canal to divert water for irrigation, my fields would only be able to grow grass to feed cattle and sheep! ”

"Haha! Lao Li is right! My family also has some land, which has been dry and unharvested. Now, after the successful construction of this canal, as long as it is not a major drought or flood, a bumper harvest can be guaranteed every year! ”

An elderly man said sincerely with deep emotion: "Although the magistrate of this county is young, he is unambiguous in doing things!" In less than a year, he did what the five magistrates failed to do! It's rare! ”

The old man's emotional words made everyone sigh, and they nodded their heads and expressed their praise.

In the wing, Qiulan listened to everyone praising her young master, and she also smiled happily and said, "Young master, you hear that many people are praising you!" ”

"Hear, it's just a little thing! As long as these people don't scold me, I'm already satisfied! Ye Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and watched the flames of the charcoal fire gradually become distracted.

At this time, the hall of the teahouse was still full of chat.

"Hey, I heard that the Jin Kingdom is going to send an envoy to our Great Song Dynasty recently......"

"Oh? Really? Is there going to be war again? Someone exclaimed.

The scholar man at the other table said disdainfully: "Cut, what kind of battle!" In the current period of peace between the two countries, it must be just a ceremonial ceremony between the two countries! ”

"That's not necessarily, I heard that the people who came to our Great Song Dynasty this time are not only the Jin Kingdom, but also the envoys of the Liao Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom!"

"Hey, what is the purpose of such a grand gathering in my Great Song? Does it have to be a big deal? ”

"The devil knows! From a certain point of view, they are not good birds, and there will definitely be no good birds! ”

"I'm waiting for the little people, there is a big deal in charge of the DPRK and China, why bother to be blind and that idleness, or eat tea and chat, and come at ease......"

"Haha! Said extremely true, said extremely true! ”
