It was only September, and snow was falling in the sky. One after another, it will be endless. In previous years, this was an auspicious sign. The cold wind that blew too early froze all the insects that had not had time to burrow into the ground to hide, and the snow replenished the water of the black and oily land.

But this year, it will not work, and the nine years of the great cause are destined to be a year of many disasters and difficulties. In the summer, in order to crusade against Goguryeo, the Zhuang families in the border counties were all requisitioned and sent to Liaodong to listen to errands. By the time they had come back from a long journey, most of the wheat had rotted in the ground. The people did not have enough to eat, the weather was cold, and it had been snowing for a long time, and I don't know how many people would freeze to death at home.

"Alas!" Shanggu County Shouyu Lotus held the white copper hand stove and sighed incessantly. If it was in previous years, whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it would not matter if a few flat-headed slaves froze to death. Grass people, it's just a number on the booklet, tens of thousands more, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, as long as the officials can do things, smearing can always fool the past. But this year is special, His Majesty the Emperor's car is parked in Shanggu County, and it will be parked for three days. Those royal forest guards and civil and military ministers are not blind, and they can see whether there is smoke coming out of the people's homes, and whether there is food on the faces of pedestrians. Once any unrighteous person pokes this matter up, it makes the emperor angry, and more than 20 parents and officials of Shanggu County will not be able to eat and walk around.

Fortunately, so far, there is no sign of His Majesty's anger. According to the guidance of the uncle of the family who walked beside the emperor, Yu He learned that the emperor was in a good mood, although earlier, because the general of the right imperial guard acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily and appointed and dismissed the generals in the army without authorization, but by noon today, the anger was smooth. It is said that the reason for the good luck is due to the right imperial guard general Yu Wenshu, after this person pacified the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, he easily wiped out the rebels of Han Xiangguo, a native of Liangjun. The heads of the thieves have been wrapped in grass ash and sent to the Eastern Capital to wait for the Holy Driver to return for inspection. In addition, Yang Xuangan, Liang Guoxiang and others looted the stolen goods gathered in the prefectures and counties, and the savings of the former Chu Duke Yang Su's family were also confiscated by the officials and soldiers. Yu Wenshu did not dare to be arbitrary, and sent all the treasures to the Eastern Capital Palace, waiting for His Majesty to dispose of them.

"This Lord Yuwen is even good at being an official!" Looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window, Shanggu Shouyu thought enviously. Yu Wenshu has also heard about the unauthorized appointment and dismissal of senior generals in the army. The hometown of the general who was robbed of his official position by Yuwen Shu happened to be under the rule of Shanggu County, and this person was still studying in the county school, according to common sense, Yu He, the local parent, can also be regarded as half of the other party's teacher. But this mentor Yu He didn't dare to be it, that young man named Li Xu acted recklessly, and even the old general of the Great Sui Dynasty, Guiyu Wenshu, dared to offend, and had something to do with him, and he might be implicated in the future.

Not having too much to do with the other party does not mean that Yu He does not care about the affairs of young people. More than two months ago, Yu He also went to visit the other party's parents in the "Yalu" where the rising star of the Great Sui officialdom lived. Seeing that the other party's home was a little cold, he also specially ordered the county to draw a piece of land in a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and rivers for the mansion of the Zhongyong Marquis of the Great Sui Dynasty. How to say, this Li Xu is also a hero who grew up under his rule, in case he really becomes His Majesty's humerus one day, these parents and officials in Shanggu County may be able to come to the door to reminisce about the old relationship.

In the affairs of officialdom, Yu He thinks he is quite proficient. At present, although the government is still in the hands of wealthy families, since the first emperor opened the imperial examination, some officials from small families have gradually appeared in the court. One of the two sides wants to protect their own interests, and the other wants to fight for the opportunity to speak. Bumps and bumps will inevitably happen. Once the major and minor affairs of the DPRK and China are involved in this aspect, right and wrong can no longer be clarified. It is common for the people involved to rise to prosper in the blink of an eye, and it is common for them to fall into disrepute in the blink of an eye, and the parties themselves often don't know what is going on behind the scenes.

Let's take the fact that Uncle Zhongyong was taken away by Xu Guogong and the general of the Xiongwu Camp is really missing, if this matter does not involve the origins of both parties, I am afraid that the emperor will not hear about it. After all, the positions of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangzhu Guoda General, and Xu Guogong are much higher than a small general who is not even a loyal and brave uncle and a Wupin Xiongwulang, even if he is killed, it is like a small worm that can't make much waves.

But those loyal and brave uncles came from a poor family, so that several imperial historians who were also from small families and relied on the imperial examination to become officials had the same hatred and hatred, and some people deliberately pushed it, and immediately, impeached Yuwen Shu for power, and tried to expand his own strength in the army, and flew to the desk of His Majesty the Emperor like snowflakes. And the "dogs" raised by Yuwen's family were not idle, and they were full of joy, starting from Li Xu's unauthorized beheading of the Yuan Wuben, to the incorporation of the rebel army without the imperial court order, the expansion of the strength of the Xiongwu battalion, and the private distribution of public grain in Liyang County without the permission of the Ministry of Households, etc., all kinds of evil deeds are listed in dozens of articles.

"Whew! He gave a part of the grain to the soldiers, but after all, most of it was left for the imperial court. If it is taken back by the traitors, it is said that in the entire Liyang Cang, the imperial court will not even be able to catch a single rice husk! "Yu Li, the county shou Yuhe doesn't think there is anything wrong with Li Xu's approach. But he didn't dare to say it openly. A side branch of a wealthy family like him, a junior in the big surname, no one can afford to offend any of the forces. So the best thing to do is to bet on both sides. Although there will never be a chance to be independent and call for wind and rain, even if you lose, you can't lose too much, and sooner or later there will be a chance to make a comeback.

"My lord, the old master Liu from the county school has arrived, and he is waiting for the instructions of the adults in the second hall!" The housekeeper Yu Guangda walked behind Yu He and bowed his body to remind.

"Invite him to my study. The master is a local celebrity, so he should serve tea in the study! Yu He nodded, turned his back to the old butler and commanded.

He didn't want to talk to Old Master Liu in the place where he handled official business in Ertang. The thing he wants to ask today was ordered by his distant uncle, the emperor's inner history squire, and Lord Yu Shiji, who was in charge of the government. What conclusions to draw and how to report them to the top need to be considered. So the fewer people who know, the safer it is for him.

The old housekeeper ran out in a daze, and a moment later, the old master Liu, who had the oldest qualifications and the highest reputation in the county, was taken to the study. The servant brought a pot of tea, and bowed down and retreated at the signal of the old butler. There were only three people left in the study room immediately, listening to the snow falling in the wisps of tea, looking very leisurely.

"My lord invites students to come and ...... today" Old Master Liu was very interested, and understood that he was not qualified to drink tea in the county guard's study, so he warmed his throat with tea a little, so he took the initiative to ask the county keeper about his intention to invite him.

"Nothing else. Our Yixian County School has recently produced two famous juniors, as a local parent, I naturally have to pay attention to it. Otherwise, once the emperor asks, I don't even know about these concubines, wouldn't it be a joke! Yu He covered the teacup, stretched, and said very casually.

"Students understand. Students understand. These two juniors are disciples who have been taught by the students themselves, and when they were studying in the county school, the students knew that they were extraordinary, and there would always be a day when they would contribute to the country! When it came to the two most famous students of Yixian County School, Old Master Liu's face was full of pride, and his voice unconsciously raised a few points.

"Is it really the master's protégé? I really want to congratulate the master! Yu He sat up straight and gently bowed his hand to Old Master Liu.

"Don't dare, don't dare. It is the emperor who is virtuous and is in the United States, and the adults are well governed. So the two of them have a chance to succeed! Liu Fuzi hurriedly stood up, bowed his waist and bowed for a long time. The county keeper has done something for me! The old master was so proud that sparks sparked in front of him, "This is a glory that no one has." The guardian of a county gave me this cloth cloth as a trick, just for those two descendants to have a chance! The old man felt that his heart was so happy that he almost jumped out of his throat, and he made up his mind to bring Li Xu and Zhang Xiu under his own door. Old Master Yang has already left, and it is estimated that he will not come back in this life. This credit and face belong to the old man, and no one else can snatch it! ”

"It's you who teach and educate people, so I don't have any credit. Master, don't be too humble, or I, the parent official, will be ashamed. Yu He waved his hand and stopped Liu Fuzi's flattery.

"If it weren't for the adults' attention to learning, how could our Yi County School have today's achievements!" Liu Fuzi was sleek and took the initiative to give part of the "credit" to Lord Yu. Judging from the meaning of Lord Yu's words today, he felt that Li Xu and Zhang Xiu had made some great contributions. Therefore, the imperial court paid attention to the county school and asked the county keeper about it. If the answer is correct, the credit of the two apprentices is so great, can the teacher not be rewarded? Even if you can't get into the office, at least a few silk silks are indispensable.

"This old man has no bones, and it is estimated that he can't teach Li Xu's hard-tempered apprentice. It seems that the rumors are true, Li Xu's mentor is the master Yang Ji! While chatting, Yu He made the following judgment in his heart. But how do you report it to your uncle? He muttered a little.

Liu Fuzi couldn't see the hidden mystery behind Master Yu's smile, and he babbled about how Li Xu and Zhang Xiu studied in the county back then, how he taught people tirelessly, how to teach them the truth of life, how to teach them the art of war, and how to teach them the art of war and strategy. It is only said that the stars are flying horizontally, and even the snowflakes outside the sky are brought by the brilliant colors.

"It's good that someone is willing to be his teacher, which saves a lot of trouble!" Yu He opened the tea bowl and gently blew it away like smoke and water mist. That kid was given a gold medal by the emperor, and it is said that on the way back to his hometown, he happened to meet the emperor's car. There is no such coincidence in the world, maybe the emperor came to the poor country of Shanggu this time to solve his matter.

Yu He couldn't guess the intention of the above, but he had already figured out how to reply to the court's question. The troubled times are coming, is this an official, if you can be confused, why be so sober!
