1676 The Culprit

Fang Yun looked at Dong Wencong and asked, "Is the content on the biography true?"

Dong Wencong immediately bowed down and said: "Every sentence is true, it is related to the education of a state, and the lower officials dare not deceive." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Have you ever reported to the Cabinet?"

"In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, only the lower officials, the governor of Fang and the adults know about this matter. Even those who investigated did not know the true purpose of the lower officials. Dong Wencong's tone was a little arrogant, thinking that he had done a smart job in this matter.

Fang Yun nodded lightly and said, "If the book is right, then the secretary of the State Academy of Literature, who is responsible for selecting and reading books, should be the culprit." ”

Dong Wencong hesitated for a moment and said, "The current Siye Bi Yuan Bi Han Lin is highly respected, and he served in the State Academy of Literature many years ago. The previous selection of books may have nothing to do with him, but Xiangzhou has belonged to Jing for several years, and he has not changed his choice of books so far, I am afraid that he has ulterior motives. What's more, what is said in the biography is true, this person has repeatedly praised Qingguo for how it is, and every time he talks about history, he accuses Jingguo of how he is, and never mentions the mistakes of Wuguo or Qingguo. It is also true that five years ago, this person gave a lecture to the faculty of the Academy of Letters, and constantly attacked the famous scholars of Jingguo in the classroom. ”

"I see. Fang Yundao.

"The lower official retired. Dong Wencong was puzzled, wanting to know who Fang Yun's second war letter was aimed at, but unfortunately, he could only know the truth when the "Minbao" was printed.

"By the way, starting tomorrow, the inaugural issue of the "Minbao" will no longer be printed and sold, and the subsequent "Minbao" will not be among them. Fang Yundao.

Dong Wencong was stunned for a moment and said, "My subordinates receive orders." ”

Dong Wencong thought as he walked, from tomorrow onwards, the value of "Minbao" would increase again, especially the inaugural issue, which might become a priceless antique in a few hundred years.

Baling City is the capital of Xiangzhou, and the State Academy of Literature was built in the city, and the center of the State Academy of Literature is the holy temple to worship all the saints.

The State Academy of Letters is divided into many areas, such as examination rooms, schools, almshouses, housing, and so on.

Due to the beautiful environment of the State Academy of Letters, some officials will connect one of their offices to the independent courtyard arranged for them by the State Academy of Letters, although they are alienated from the outside world, but they will be quiet.

The scholars who enter the Academy of Literature are either indifferent to fame and fortune and unwilling to endure hardships in military and political affairs, or they are disappointed in officialdom, after all, the real power of officials in the Academy of Literature is far less than that of civil officials or military officers.

There is a single courtyard in the southeast corner of the State Academy, and it is already late at night, and the study in the courtyard is still moving by candlelight.

Bi Yuan, the fourth grade of the State Academy of Literature, is over fifty years old, his temples are slightly white, and he is reading a book, looking stern and mean.

After reading for a while, Bi Yuan put down the scroll and looked out the window.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Bi Yuan's whole body trembled, and his whole body was cold, as a Hanlin, he could have sensed everything within a radius of dozens of zhang, but the person who knocked on the door seemed to appear out of thin air, leaving no breath before.

Bi Yuan quickly understood that it was a person who had a higher official and civil position than himself.

"The distinguished guest came to visit at night, and Bi was unable to greet him, and he hoped to forgive his sins. Bi Yuan said, getting up from his chair.

Fang Yun pushed the door in, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Bi Yuan with a smile.

The moment he saw Fang Yun, Bi Yuan's face turned slightly pale and his breathing stagnated, but in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, Bi Yuan, has seen the Governor. Bi Yuan was deeply moved.

Fang Yun nodded, slowly looked around, and said, "No need to be polite, I passed by here and saw that there was a candlelight in your study, so I came to see that you continue to read your book." ”

Fang Yun walked slowly in the room, looking at the bookshelves and furnishings in the study with interest as he walked, occasionally reaching out to touch the books on the shelves.

Bi Yuan lowered his head slightly, didn't say a word, but his eyelids kept jumping, and he couldn't stop no matter what.

"It seems that you have a wide range of knowledge, even old books like "Zhengbeilu", which have less than 10,000 copies printed. Fang Yun said, reaching out to take the book.

Bi Yuan's eyes moved lightly, and he said slowly: "I saw it at the used bookstall back then, and I knew that this book was scarce and might be collectible, so I bought it at a low price and put it on the shelf, and I haven't seen it for many years." ”

Fang Yun didn't read this book, but put it back on the bookshelf casually, and said: "The author of this book once fought with the Jing army, was extremely murderous, and had a record of massacring the civilians of Jing Kingdom three times, so even if he made great contributions, he was punished by the Holy Court and was taken away by Qingjun. I didn't expect you to like this kind of person's book. ”

"Xia Guan likes to read miscellaneous books, only read the words, and rarely delve into the people behind them. Bi Yuan replied.

"Yes, it is human nature to eat eggs and not know chickens. Fang Yundao.

"That's what my lord said. Bi Yuan was dressed in white and plum, his face was respectful, and his response was simple and clear.

Fang Yun walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, your little grandson has already been enlightened, right?"

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for the child's enlightenment half a year ago. Bi Yuan said.

"Is he reading "Celebrity and Scholar" or "World Affairs"?" Fang Yun asked.

"He had just become literate and could not read the books yet. The blood on Bi Yuan's face lightened a little.

Again, if he reads it, it won't be beautiful. Fang Yun said casually.

Bi Yuan didn't say a word.

Fang Yun walked slowly, as if he had looked through the study, before he said, "Bi Siye, what do you think of the "Minbao"?"

Bi Yuan hesitated slightly, and said: "This newspaper is innovative and outstanding, if there is no accident, it will definitely go down in history." ”

"Do you have any grievances with the People's Daily?" Fang Yun asked.

"At first glance, Xia Guan was shocked, knowing that the "Minbao" must be famous all over the world, except for some discomfort with the Song style characters you created, there is no dissatisfaction. Bi Yuan replied.

"Well, what do you think is the most important thing for the position of the State Academy of Literature?" Fang Yun looked at Bi Yuan.

Bi Yuan didn't seem to expect Fang Yun to ask questions about his official position, so he said: "Xia Guan Xi is the secretary of the business, and assists the state court monarch to be responsible for the education of a state. ”

Fang Yun nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, you didn't learn from others to talk about a lot of big truths, and it was true to say that it was the result of the imperial examination." However, after the imperial examination high school, what should those students do, have you ever considered it?"

"Xia Guan didn't think about it. Bi Yuan said.

"So, you didn't think about it when you made the book selection?" Fang Yun asked.

Bi Yuan's right hand shook slightly, and said, "My lord said that he was laughing, how could the lower officials be like this, they should be thoughtful." However, because the selection of books in Xiangzhou has been set decades ago, the lower officials are too conservative and do not change a word, and I hope that the adults will forgive them. ”

"Do you keep the old in Xiangzhou, or the old in Qingguo?" Fang Yun asked rhetorically.

Bi Yuan stared at Fang Yun tightly, and said slowly: "Choosing a reading book is to let students broaden their knowledge, it doesn't matter, as long as students like it, it is a great achievement." ”
