Chapter 104: Pay You Back!

After talking for a long time, Cao Qicai said goodbye to this person.

"I see that this person is extremely stingy, so why bother talking to him?"

Tree Function said unhappily.

Cao Qi shook his head, "Don't say that, this person is just from a poor family, so it's like this." ”

"It's not easy for these people from poor backgrounds."

After they finished their meal, they stayed in a nearby restaurant for one night before heading to the local county school the next day.

By the time they arrived, it was already crowded.

Scholars from all over the world gathered here, and local officials traveled back and forth.

Just as the crowd was gathering more and more, a large number of armor soldiers suddenly appeared.

This movement made the scholars realize that there was a big man coming.

Sure enough, after the soldiers were orderly guarding all parts of the county school, a person walked in with a smile surrounded by many officials.

Seeing this person, everyone bowed and worshipped, even those famous people.

The person who came was none other than Pei Hui, the assassin of Jizhou.

This person has been in Jizhou for many years and has a very high reputation, he smiled and returned the salute to everyone, and then surrounded by everyone, he walked on a high platform specially used to debate the classics.

He looked left and right, and then said: "This time, many celebrities gathered in Jizhou, this is a grand event, it just so happens that my Jizhou is also preparing to hold an assessment and promote officials, in addition, schools around the country also need a large number of officials."

Pei Hui is a very direct person.

He barely went around in circles, and he was very open about his purpose.

This time, he was able to allow so many celebrities to gather in Yecheng in order to recruit a large number of outstanding talents.

In fact, this local assessment is more of a small position, that is, a position that many people don't look down on at all, but there is a thorn history specially invited, and it becomes different.

And everyone pays more attention to the academic officer, if he can be recommended by the assassin as a local academic official, this is more promising than being a small official.

This position is also suitable for these celebrities who are not very good at governance.

Pei Hui said a lot, and finally said: "You can debate the classics in Jizhou at will, and write books, and in a few days, I also invited a famous person to come and tell you about the scriptures."

Pei Hui did not reveal who this famous man was, but the scholars were already excited.

There are not many people in the world who can be called a famous person by Pei Hui.

Pei Hui said for a moment, then turned around and left here.

He still has a lot of things to do.

Cao Qi and the others watched him leave, and then made a few friends here and participated in their debate.

At this moment, the tree function brightened up and pointed to a person in the distance, "Isn't that the person in the restaurant yesterday?" ”

Cao Qi looked at the man, and sure enough, it was him!

Following the gaze of Cao Qi and the others, the rest of the people also looked at him, and then said disdainfully: "This person, what is he doing here?" ”

Cao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said unhappily: "How can you look down on the other party because of his background?" ”

The man laughed, "Origin? We greatly admire this person's origin! ”

"A few people may not know, this person is from a big family, and his eldest father is the Marquis of Xiling! His father even served as a waiter! ”

"Huh??"

Cao Qi was very surprised.

"He is called Heqiao, he served as the prince at a young age, and he has a great future, but as a result, he was bribed! It was planted directly in the hands of His Majesty, and it has been deposed to this day! This is not a good person! ”

Hearing the words of the people around him, Shuji was very displeased, "We still invite such people to eat, it is better to throw away the meal yesterday!" ”

Cao Qi felt that something was wrong.

Judging from this person's appearance, words and deeds, he doesn't look like a cunning person.

He pondered for a moment before stepping forward quickly.

"He-kun!"

The man turned around, saw Cao Qi, and saluted with a smile, "It turned out to be you!" ”

Cao Qi looked at the person in front of him again, and he asked very directly: "I heard that Your Excellency was dismissed for the crime of accepting bribes, is there such a thing?" ”

He Qiao hesitated for a moment before he nodded, "It's for this crime." ”

Cao Qi then stretched out his hand.

He Qiao looked at him in surprise.

"Give me back the five dollars."

"My money is for the poor and the poor, how can it be given to those who are corrupt and pervert the law?"

A trace of reluctance suddenly appeared on He Qiao's face, and he grabbed Cao Qi's hand.

"Your Excellency!! Actually, I didn't take a bribe!! I'm in trouble! ”

He had no intention of arguing, but at the moment he was very aggrieved and explained: "How could I ask for a bribe from others? At that time, I was just a husband, and I was often visited by celebrities and scholars, and they left some gifts when they left! ”

"I've befriended these people, but I've never done anything for them!"

"That's Baume & Mercier visiting each other, and they're all giving gifts to each other! Everyone is like this, I can swear to my father and ancestors, I will never take money from people to do things for others! ”

Cao Qi was clear, "Do you only collect money and don't do anything?" ”

"Isn't that right! That's when friends give gifts to each other! ”

He Qiao sighed.

"At that time, Wang Rong had just been promoted to the Ministry of Officials, and he took money from others, and then went to do things for others, which made His Majesty furious."

"Then someone told Your Majesty that I and my family have a very good reputation, but when I arrived, my behavior was corrupt, and like that Wang Rong, I had a great reputation, but I liked to do corrupt things!"

"Your Majesty immediately dismissed my official title and drove me out of Luoyang."

Speaking of this, He Qiao's heart was even more aggrieved.

"But I'm different from Wang Rong, I'm normal to interact with good people, not to mention that I'm a fictitious position, an alternate outsider, why should others bribe me? What can I do if I take bribes? ”

"They said it was because my father had served as the secretary of the ministry, but my father had already resigned and returned home!"

He Qiao talked a lot, and finally said seriously: "I have not committed a big sin!" ”

"When my eldest father was alive, he taught us that we must not do bribery, we must remain honest, when my eldest father died, the family did not have any money, and he was praised by the world as an honest minister! My father has been an official for many years, and although he is not as good as my eldest father, he is also known for his fairness and honesty, how could I do such a thing and ruin their reputation? ”

Cao Qi looked at the person in front of him with a strange face.

Brother Tai, you are too hard, for this mere five dollars, even your father and grandfather have carried it out???

It was the first time Cao Qi had encountered this kind of person.

However, this guy is not lying, his grandfather and father are indeed famous and honest ministers.

In particular, his father, known as the most incorruptible minister in the Great Wei, once sold his farm house in order to make ends meet.

He wrote to the emperor many times, hoping that the temple could promote thrift and honesty.

Cao Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally dispelled the idea of getting the five coins back.

"Hejun, since you have been wronged, why don't you write to defend yourself?"

"This is ordered by His Majesty himself, who dares to defend it?"

He Qiao said with a wry smile: "Over the years, I haven't even been able to participate in the assessment, and I heard that there are recruiting academic officials here, so I want to try." ”

Cao Qi took him out of here, and Shu Ji and Liu Hong followed them.

Cao Qi informed the other two about him.

Both looked skeptical.

Cao Qi found a place, and several people ate together, talked about this literary meeting, and talked with Qiao Kan.

"In recent years, there have been very few cultural meetings, and most of today's officials know the truth of simplicity, unlike in the past."

"Anything, if it is too complicated, it will have a bad impact, whether it is the temple governing the world, or the officials governing the locality, it is best to be simple."

Cao Qi and the others listened to him tell some truths.

This person has his own ideas when he speaks, and he has repeatedly said that the government should be based on the people.

Cao Qi asked him a few more things, and this guy could answer it, which can be said to be fluent.

Cao Qi made it more difficult, and he asked, "Your Majesty is migrating more people today, what is the harm of this matter?" ”

"There is no harm, after Your Majesty has migrated the clans of Shu and Wu, he will move the clans of the Central Plains to the south, this is for the longevity of Sheji"

Cao Qi became more and more surprised, and the other two couldn't help but look at him many times, this guy who slammed the door could still say such a thing? ?

Cao Qi couldn't help but admire: "You are talented." ”

He looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "However, today's Your Majesty has many tyrannical policies, and treats virtuous people with contempt, even talented people like you have been disposed of by him, and the people over there say that he is a tyrant like the First Emperor!" ”

The tree function pursed his lips with Liu Hong, but he didn't dare to pick up the stubble.

He Qiao frowned, he looked at Cao Qi in front of him, "Qiu Jun, what are you talking about?" ”

"Your Majesty's heavy ceremony, isn't it because the atmosphere in the world is wrong?"

"The so-called benevolent government depends on whether it is conducive to the community, when the initial emperor let nearly a million people leave their homes to serve in forced labor, so that countless families are ruined, the world wails, the people of the world are not able to make a living, the cultivated land is wasted, the people really can't survive, and finally the masses rebel, leading to destruction!"

"It's called tyranny!"

"But now, Your Majesty, after he has issued these policies, the whole country has gradually become rich, the people have surplus food, the poll tax has been abolished, and the whole world is chanting for saints, how can this be called tyranny? The world is prosperous because of this, and this is benevolent government! ”

Cao Qi's eyes lit up, Qiu Qi was the pseudonym he used, so the other party called him Qiu Jun.

Looks like this guy can use it.

He was about to speak, but He Qiao had already stood up, groped around on his body for a long time, and finally found some money.

His face was very hesitant, and after a long struggle, he finally put the five coins on the case.

"I'm different from you, don't be a friend!"

"I'll give you back the money!!"

After saying that, the guy turned around and left here proudly.

Cao Qi looked at the five coins, and then looked at the meal that the other party had just finished.

What about the cost of this meal?
