Choi Xie, the dutiful son, did a very good job. In the Hanlin Academy, he had to rehearse records, prepare edicts, and eat... and be the official bookkeeper of scriptures and banquets. Apart from hard work, he also wrote dozens of articles for his father in prison. Poetry articles, take the opportunity to express your sorrow.
Mr. Li was very satisfied when he saw his poems that were neither very poetic nor very emotional, and privately told Liu Jian Liu Xueshi to boast of his pure filial piety: "I think I ordered him to write a few poems as a teacher. Poetry, he tried his best to drag the time, and I had to change the poems for him. Now I have written many poems because of my longing for my father and my passion..."
You have written enough poems, but where did you find the "passionate"? Isn't this poem a rhyme? Could he have written anything worse than this
Li Dongyang, who is famous for his poems in the world, actually boasted of such a level of humble poetry, and Liu Jian could not agree with him no matter what. After much deliberation, it can only be attributed to him being a teacher, and the standard of reading his apprentice's poetry has been lowered.
He couldn't boast of these poems, so he picked a place where he could boast: "He Zhong is indeed pure filial piety. Fortunately, he sent the account books and stolen goods to the Zhenfu Division early, and let Jin Yiwei close the case early. , it also saves the old gentleman going to court for interrogation and suffering from torture in vain."
Cui Ju was in prison, and it was true that he had a good life thanks to his son. Because his family handed over the stolen money early, in the past six months, he doesn't have to go to court for interrogation, and he doesn't need to be punished when chasing the stolen money. , this jail is pretty good. But now the censor of supervision has brought back local evidence and testimony. The evidence of the corruption case is conclusive. His time in prison is full, and it is time to sentence him.
The Zhenfu envoy Xie Ying had a strict judgment and did not tolerate personal relationships. Although he had been with Cui Xie for many years, he still sternly wrote the words "Miscellaneous criminals to death" on the case file.
When the memorial was submitted to the emperor, the emperor Hongzhi remembered his promise to Cui Xie, and the imperial pen Zhu Zhu approved that his family would redeem the copper to save him from death. After all the stolen goods were cleared, he would go back to serve as an official.
However, when the imperial decree reached the center, it was rejected by the chief assistant Liu Jifeng.
Lord Liu has resumed the style of confronting whomever he met since the new dynasty, and fighting on the front line of admonition. Uemoto advised the emperor not to pardon his father's sins for favoring the old knowledge of the East Palace. Cui Ju harassed the common people and native officials in Yunnan, and threatened to disrupt the peace of the border. First, he demanded money because of his position, and then let his family put money away for profit. He committed both public and private crimes. After returning the stolen money, he was called to return to the court as an official
If he still does such a thing and provokes the chaos of the frontier people, wouldn't he mess up the people's livelihood and ruin the emperor's sage
Thousands of words condensed into one sentence - no forgiveness!
Unlike Naifu, Emperor Hongzhi was a good minister and an emperor who was good at taking advice. Not only did he not dislike his disobedience, but he humbly accepted his advice. When the decree was passed again, the decree changed the previous job of atonement to make up for sins and changed it to four years in prison, allowing him to transport carbon nanometers to atonement, and then return home for the people after the atonement.
Elder Liu Ge wanted to refute even this decree.
But when Cui Xie apologized, he was the one who tried to keep Cui Xie from being implicated, but now he embarrassed Cui Ju himself. Did he want to show loyalty and patriotism to the emperor again? The two scholars called Shoufu a little impatient, and persuaded him: "This is the will of the sage, why should Shoufu insist on refuting it? Besides, officials who are guilty can still be punished, and ask him to pay ten stones of nanometers or fifteen stones of miscellaneous grains every year. At the border, even taking five years is worth forty-eight coppers of atonement."
Liu Shoufu put on the air of being just, strict and ignorant of personal feelings, and sighed in embarrassment: "This is the holy will, so this official has no choice but to obey."
The cabinet quickly formulated the decree, and the emperor saw that the sentence was not too severe, so he ordered the Zhenfu Division to bring the prisoner up and move him to his hometown to serve the people.
Naturally, every year, ten stone meters are paid to the border to atone for their sins.
Because the emperor wanted to take care of Cui Xie, the two scholars persuaded each other, and Liu Shoufu also raised his hand, so he did not ask him to go to distant places like Yunnan and Fujian, but only to Yulin County, which is more than 1,500 miles away.
When the order was sent to the Zhenfu Division, Xie Zhenfu immediately asked the jailer to lead the person out, and said to Cui Ju, who had been in a black prison for half a year and looked haggard: "Mr. Cui, your case has been concluded. You are in the Senate in Yunnan. The crime of corruption, perversion of the law, and violation of the local area is originally a crime of death, but by the decree of the Holy One, your family is allowed to go to the frontier guard in Yulin County every year for ten stones to atone for this crime. Township."
He pushed the case file coldly and asked someone to show it to Cui Ju to sign and sign it, but Cui Ju couldn't calm down, and his arms trembled slightly when he signed.
It wasn't because the punishment was too severe, but he suddenly remembered that Liu's natal father was guarding in Yulin. The general's family was vulgar and held grudges. Now that he has resigned from office, he has to transport rice to the border in person. When the family saw him, how could he be humiliated!
Xie Zhenfu, who was in the hall, completely ignored his worries. After receiving the abdication documents, he ordered him to be brought back to the prison, and sent someone to inform the Cui family to redeem the people.
When Cui Xie heard a letter from his family in the Hanlin Academy, he was so sorry that he almost didn't keep a good expression. Fortunately, the historical materials on the table were piled high, people didn't see his face very clearly, they just thought he was surprised and lost his voice, and called him again: "Congratulations to Mr. Cui, father and son, have to be reunited, are you still going back? "
Go back, go back, go back!
When Cui Xie returned home, he immediately ordered his family to fetch brand new clothes, and then drove the car to pick him up at the Zhenfu Si Yamen. Xie Zhenfu knew that he would come, so he asked Cui Ju to wait for him in the second hall, handed the person to Cui Xie in person, and said, "The imperial decree is to order the people to return to their origin and to go to the border every year for ten stones. In order to atone for the death penalty. But Nano has the rules of Nano - starting from today, you must be sent to the border by your commander in person, and the payment will be completed within two months, and the guards in Jinyi will be imprisoned."
The next four years will be like this every year. If he has enough atonement rice, he can be regarded as a decent and innocent people.
Cui Xie was very grateful, and bowed his hands to the Forbidden City: "Your Majesty's kindness is like a sea, how can Cui Xie repay!" He said to Xie Ying, "My father has also received more care from adults in the past six months. After settling down, my father will invite the adults to the humble house for a glass of water and wine."
Xie Ying smiled lightly and said restrainedly, "This official is just handling the case and acting according to the imperial decree. Mr. Cui doesn't need to say thank you, so I will take Ling Zun back, prepare the rice and send it to the border."
Cui Xie bowed his hands and asked his family to help Cui Xie into the car, leaving Komatsuyan inside to change his clothes, and rode back to the house by himself.
After changing into decent clothes and arriving at the house, Cui Ju raised his father's prestige again and asked Chief Cui to open the ancestral hall. He wanted to thank his ancestors for his blessing.
Cui Xie didn't care what he was trying to do, he just asked people to go to the farmhouse in the suburbs of Beijing overnight to adjust rice and rent a horse-drawn carriage.
Cui Ju watched him busy, thinking that he was going to Yulinwei to be humiliated, his face couldn't help showing thin anger, frowning and scolding him: "Didn't you always have a good relationship with Xie Zhenfu, why doesn't he look at you at all? If you want to save face, should you tell the court, should be tortured, and today you are aggressively asking me to transport rice, so you don’t leave some dignity for your father and me?”
Cui Xie was stunned, and answered honestly: "Because the master said that I was not allowed to associate with Jin Yiwei, which tarnished the reputation of the Cui family, I would not dare to associate with Xie Zhenfu. But please rest assured, master, the case is now closed, as long as our family If they have enough rice and grain, no matter how tyrannical they are, they can't find the master."
…
Counselor Cui threw his sleeves heavily and turned back to his room.
The yard was empty, and the family members and concubines who came back with him were gone, and only a few clumsy women and family members cleaned up in the yard. He returned angrily to find Cui Xie and asked him where he had sent the family maid he used to.
Cui Xie still said innocently: "Because of the master's accident, I was instructed that I could pass the bribery request to my family, wash the master out, and send them to the Zhenfu Division for interrogation. Some people have been found guilty of inquiries, and some people know that there are too many things in Yunnan, I am afraid that the master's reputation is not good, so I sent people to Zhuangzi to watch."
As for the two concubines, Cui Ju was still in his father's filial piety, so he didn't have the face to ask how the concubine's room was, so he just snorted.
Cui Xie said thoughtfully, "If the master wants them to serve him, when he returns to Yulin after losing this year's rice grains, I will ask someone to send them to Jiaxiang Tun to still serve the master?"
Master Cui is going to go out to transport food himself, so who else is there to serve? As soon as the fight came, those people walked from Qian'an to Beijing, and he had already walked hundreds of miles on the road.
He ate two tasteless vegetarian meals at home, and a Jinyi Guard came to the door and escorted him and several powerful servants to deliver rice grains to Yulin County.
To be transported to the border is ten shi of grain, and a person on the road must have two or three shi for chewing on the horses. If an ordinary person pays grain, they bring silver in the capital and buy it at the near border pass. However, Cui Xie didn't have this common sense, so he directly asked someone to pack a few carts of rice, bring some dry food and vegetables, special products of the capital, and several seals of silver, and asked his family from Liu's family to accompany them to transport.
Liu Zhuangtou's family has been traveling to Yulin all these years. They are familiar with the road and recognize his grandfather's house. Along the way, they can serve as a guide and send letters to Liu's family to ask their grandfather for help. They will not cause an accident to his father.
He also wanted to give money to the two Jinyiwei who were escorted, but the two warriors refused, one blushed, and the other smiled at him with white teeth: "Cui Hanlin is interpreting for us Jinyiwei, helping us Jinyiwei. The person who captured the Japanese pirates, how can we ask for your money!"
Cui Hanlin was secretly happy, and said modestly, "It was all written by the writers at will. I have never really seen a Japanese pirate when I grew up. If I really meet a Japanese thief in the future, I would also like to follow Xie Zhenfu. Run into battle with a gun and be a hero who kills the enemy, not just interpreting behind you."
They chatted affectionately, but Cui Ju couldn't help but show a slight anger: "Didn't you say that you don't communicate with Xie Zhenfu very much? You and him have always had a deep friendship..." It's just that he doesn't do anything about his father. What!
Cui Xie lowered his head and remained silent, letting his father blame him. The two guards couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded among them, "What is Master Cui doing? Cui Hanlin is in contact with us, Xie Zhenfu. Why not? The emperor didn't say no, could it be that you still look down on us Jinyiwei people? If we didn't take care of you in the face of Cui Hanlin, and the great crime of Mr. Cui who almost provoked border chaos, we couldn't be in jail. Staying in peace for half a year, and still coming out like this!"
Cui Hanlin's secret sacrifice for his father was brought to light in broad daylight. Cui Ju was so angry that he blushed and couldn't say a word. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and rushed into the carriage.
Cui Xie thanked the two warriors for returning protection, and rushed up to explain and apologize to his father in a low voice. After the coaxing was almost done, he asked someone to get more money for Liu Zhuanghu, who was accompanying him, and told him to buy more wine and meat for Jin Yiwei on the way. Carefully prepare vegetarian food for the master, don't miss his filial piety.
Such a filial son makes the world move.
Regardless of whether his father appreciates it or not, Cui Xie himself has to arrange everything for his father. After Yin Yin told his family, he said to the two Jin Yiwei guards: "The grandfather of the family is Mr. Liu, the envoy of Yulin Wei Town, and when the two arrive in Yulin, it is like arriving at the Cui family. At the end of the road, there were harassers who sneaked into the customs. When the two of you get there, you can first protect the food and stop in the big city, and ask my family to send a letter to my grandfather, asking them to send some people to escort the food, so as not to be plundered by bandits over there.”
The two warriors only knew that he was the son of Master Cui's former house, but they could not guess that the two families had turned against each other, and the son-in-law did not want to see Lao Taishan, so they both happily agreed: "No! The lower officials are also looking forward to it. The food is delivered safely, and this mission is over. Since there is someone in Yulin, we can just rest in Suidezhou, and our brothers will personally deliver the letter for your old gentleman. "
