Chapter 48: The Sober One
"Teacher, Cheng Zhong has another question he wants to ask." Cheng Zhong said.
That day in the Xiangxian Temple, Wang Wenchang looked angry at a stone statue that had not been carved, and listened to the meaning of his words, if Hai Rui hadn't stopped it, Wang Wenchang would have let the stone statue be lifted out and destroyed. This made Cheng Zhong very curious.
Who was originally carved from this stone statue?
Since he is listed in the Xiangxian Ancestral Hall, he must be a celebrity in Huating County, but why did Wang Wenchang remove it? And for what reason did Hai Rui stop Wang Wenchang? Based on Cheng Zhong's understanding of Hai Rui, he is a person who does not show favoritism, why does he take care of this person a lot? Even a statue has to be specially explained.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Hai Rui smiled: "I'm afraid this question has been buried in your heart for a while, right?" Cheng Zhong's observation is meticulous, and of course this detail will not be impossible to show in the county school.
"He is a senior of the teacher, and he is currently above the temple, so he still has to recommend the magistrate of the teacher." Hai Rui said.
"Oh?" Cheng Zhong asked in surprise: "Why can't such a person enter the Xiangxian Temple?" ”
He originally thought that this was a notorious person in history, such as Qin Hui, He Shen and the like, but he didn't expect that this person would be a high-ranking official until now, and Cheng Zhong was even more strange.
Hai Rui said with a wry smile: "Everyone in the world is drunk, who can know the hardships of the sobering one?" ”
Cheng Zhong didn't expect Hai Rui's evaluation of this person to be so high, using a lone awakener! That's on a par with Qu Yuan. Cheng Zhong also knew that Hai Rui would not praise this person so much because of the grace of recommendation, it must be his character, or what he did made Hai Rui admire.
But to put it mildly, Hai Rui hasn't said who this person is so far, Cheng Zhong's heart is secretly anxious, but it's not easy to urge.
"This person's surname is Xu, his name is ranked, and his character is promoted. Jiajing was a second-year scholar of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and a second-assistant minister. Hai Rui said.
Xu Jie? Cheng Zhong also has some impressions of this name, but he doesn't know much.
I didn't expect that he was also from Huating, just such a high-ranking official, and he was quite praised in history, why was he treated like this by Wang Wenchang?
"When Xu Ge Lao entered the county school, Lord Wang was already a mentor. They can also be regarded as having a master-apprentice relationship. But of course, the young student rose to the top and became Xu Gelao; And the teachings of those years have only become teachings for many years. This is the fate of life. Hai Rui said with emotion.
"It was reasonable for Xu Ge to enter the Pantheon, but-" Hai Rui said with some embarrassment, "but he openly declared that his hometown was Fenyi. ”
Cabinet assistant Yan Song is very powerful, in order to get close, Xu Jie said that he is from Fenyi County, and the purpose is to become a fellow villager with Yan Song!
It is a shame for the dignified cabinet deputy to do such a thing, and it is really a shame that he can do it. When the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and the cousin of Huating County was even more intense, so that the Xu family did not dare to publicly say that their surname was Xu!
At that time, the county school in Huating was under construction, and Wang Wenchang was going to move the statue of Xu Jie.
Who knew that Xu Jie was plotting a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, in order to achieve his goal, he didn't even want his reputation. If such a person allows his statue to be moved out of the Xiangxian Temple, Hai Rui can't bear it, and after a few years, this matter is successful, I am afraid that Huating County will also be ashamed of what he did at the beginning.
Therefore, Hai Rui stopped Wang Wenchang, and Wang Wenchang thought that Hai Rui was afraid of Xu Jie's power and tended to be inflammatory, which he was quite disdainful.
Hai Rui is inconvenient to explain the reason, so he can only comfort himself that the purifier will be self-purifying, believing that there will be a day when the truth will be revealed.
If Xu Jie's merit fails, then this may become an unjust case that will be buried forever, and the inside story may never be known, but so what?
If that day really comes, I have already cleared my grievances with blood.
"Teacher?" Cheng Zhong saw that Hai Rui seemed to be in deep thought, so he screamed.
"Ahh Hai Rui came back to his senses and said, "Okay, knowing too much is not good for you, go back to study earlier, and have no distractions, do you know?" ”
After saying goodbye to Hai Rui, Cheng Zhong walked back with a lot of heart.
I really didn't expect that there would be a cabinet assistant in the small Huating County, and that was a big cadre of the central government! I didn't even know anything, and even Wang Wenchang was ashamed to mention his name, this world is really crazy.
Cheng Zhong immediately thought of the young man he met with Xie Jiangbo in Jingxinzhai that night, and it seemed that his surname was Xu. Right! Hai Rui's name for him is Xu Ergongzi, does it mean that this Xu Ergongzi has anything to do with Xu Jie?
If it's true, then I'm miserable, I unknowingly offended a second generation official!
Forget it, don't think about these useless things first, although Huating County is not big, but it is not small, who knows if you can see it in the future?
"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng!" Cheng Zhong's thoughts were interrupted by Xie Jiangbo's gong-like voice.
"Oh, you're going to make it easy for me to find it." Xie Jiangbo said. When the county test ended, there were many people in chaos, and Xie Jiangbo didn't see Cheng Zhong follow Hai Rui away, and he looked around a few times as if there were no flies.
"Thank you, brother forgive your sins! I just sent my mentor away. Cheng Zhong said.
"What is there to forgive about this?" Xie Jiangbo laughed and said: "Today is really enjoyable, if you don't look at Lu Duoxun's face carefully, it is almost black into carbon." Let the former No. 1 talent in Huating be deflated, and take the initiative to admit defeat, my brother Cheng, you can be regarded as a wimp for my brother this time. ”
"The first talent?" Cheng Zhong smiled, just with Lu Duoxun's reputation as the first talent? Cheng Zhong learned from Hai Rui that Xu Jie, Xu Ge, and Xu Ge were all Tanhua when they were nineteen years old, but what about Lu Duoxun? is just a showman, which is too far worse than Xu Jie.
"Of course he can't be regarded as the number one talent, who doesn't know that the number one talent in Huating is Brother Cheng." Xie Jiangbo said.
"It's tiring to be famous, don't do it." Cheng Zhong said.
This is a very simple truth, but many people have not solved it in their lifetime, which is really pitiful.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. It's been a while since we've seen each other, so how about taking this opportunity to get together today? Xie Jiangbo was grounded by his father, and he had a chance to come out today because of the county school monthly exam, of course he didn't want to go back to the "cage" early.
Most of the brothers and friends Xie Jiangbo made in the past were street ruffians, and they were denounced by Xie Mengting as fox friends and dog friends. Only Cheng Zhong is satisfied with Xie Mengting, so he travels with Cheng Zhong, even if he goes back late, he expects his father to say nothing.
Cheng Zhong was also looking for an opportunity to talk to Xie Jiangbo and ask him not to mediate between himself and Xie Sicun in the future, so he agreed.
The wine and food were all brought by Xie Jiangbo from Huating County.
The wine is still a jar of daughter red, four appetizers, although not very elegant, but also very chic.
The two sat opposite each other in the gazebo, breezy and at ease.
"Brother Xie-" After a few glasses of wine, Cheng Zhong wanted to talk about Xie Sicun: "There is one thing, the little brother has never known how to talk about it. ”
"You and my brother, if you have anything to say, just say it." Xie Jiangbo put a peanut in his mouth and said while chewing.
"It's about Sister Ling." Cheng Zhong said: "Brother Xie's hard work, I, Cheng Zhong, am grateful, but——"
"Stop!" Xie Jiangbo said: "Brother Cheng, let me ask you, isn't your sister beautiful?" ”
"Sister Ling is as beautiful as a fairy, but-" Cheng Zhong's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Is that Brother Cheng disgusted my Xie family and smelled copper, and stained Brother Cheng's identity?" Xie Jiangbo asked again.
"If Cheng has this idea, how can he be as close to Brother Xie as a brother?" Cheng Zhong denied it.
"That is, Brother Xie thinks that Sister She's heart belongs? But I can assure God that the sister and the person surnamed Lu have not met a few times in total, and they are innocent. Xie Jiangbo said again.
"Cheng Zhong naturally has no doubts about this." Cheng Zhong said again.
"Then what is the reason for your pushback?" Xie Jiangbo said.
"Let me tell you." At this moment, a clear voice sounded from outside the pavilion. Cheng Zhong stood up suddenly, why did she come?
