The two imperial envoys were ordered to inquire about the case, and they refused to disturb the place. The next day, they dragged two carts of books and left the city. After returning to Beijing, one went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to pay the decree, and the other went back to Beizhen to investigate the case. The scene of the censor and Jinyi Weiti riding side by side, and even talking and laughing on the road really shocked many passers-by.
As soon as Liu Zan returned to the procuratorate, his colleagues happily greeted him and asked, "Brother Liu, how did you gain from this trip? Has Qian'an released a new edition of "The Six Talents Version of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"Did Shang Gui ever go to the library in Qian'an County? The layout inside is inconsistent with the drawing in "Qi Zhiyuan's Public Works"?"
"Maybe people came into the house where Cui Meiren lived? Is there still beauty Yuxiang?"
Liu Zan told them to block the door so that they couldn't even touch the door of the imperial censor, so he had to deal with these people first: "The books and paintings were in the car I brought back to Beijing. Ask someone to give everyone a point. In fact, there are no new books in Ju Anzhai over there. It seems that since Cui Meiren left, they have only published one copy of "Qi Zhiyuan's Works". Other books and paintings are reprinted from old things. of."
There was a look of disappointment on everyone's faces, and they all said: "We even bought the new version of "Six Talents Reviewing the Three Kingdoms", if it were all these, it would not be interesting."
Another young censor asked: "Who is Cui Meiren? She walked away without leaving any traces? There must be a few manuscripts of her in the library, right?"
Liu Zan said, "I really went to that library when I arrived in Qian'an—"
The words were spoken silently, and everyone inside and outside listened to him with bated breath. He looked around the crowd and smiled faintly: "Cui Meiren's room has been completely converted into a reading room, and it is full of scholars, all without fat and powder, with a pure and honest scholarly fragrance. Most of the books on the shelf are collections of classics and history, and The real Cui Meiren's color-printed book is on the shelf."
There were sighs of disappointment all around, but some people said: "The Qian'an County is very ambitious, isn't he afraid that someone will borrow the book and not return it?"
"Naturally, I'm not afraid. His library is very thoughtful. Those who want to read books need to register their identities and read books with certificates."
He took out a piece of translucent white oil paper from his sleeve, with a three-dimensional pattern arched on the surface, a cloud-colored bookmark that looked super elegant: "This is the reading card I got there, and the name, identity, Appearance and figure... It's just as detailed on the examination papers. Unfortunately, I can't ask others to borrow it on behalf of others.
A few colleagues took the card and passed it on as a reward, sighing: "There is no such library in Beijing. I don't know how Qian'an County came up with this ingenious method."
Liu Zan raised his eyebrows proudly: "This is not what the county magistrate thought, but Cui Xie, the prodigy who donated the bookstore."
The inspector Yang Ying asked: "Is that really a prodigy? How about Li Xueshi and Cheng Dianxiu from the Hanlin Academy? I often hear his name these days, but I have only seen him a copy of "The Four Books of Dialogues", which he made in his hometown. What's a good poem?"
Liu Zan felt heartbroken when he thought of this, waved his hand and said, "Then Cui Xie is really a child prodigy, but unfortunately the family has hired two confused and rotten Confucians to be their husbands, and they have never taught him to write poetry and prose, so it has been delayed until today. Ask a good gentleman, or his father will teach his son, and this child's reputation is no less than that of the prodigies Cheng and Li back then."
Everyone told him that he was confused.
A child prodigy, who has published a collection of couplets since last year, saying that he is a child prodigy, but he can't write poetry even when he is sixteen... So where is his god? There are some scholars who can read the book with one eye and ten lines, and read the book and read it. In all likelihood, they can remember the book after reading it twice. This alone is not a miracle, is it
Instead, Liu Zan sold Guan Zi, sighed, shook his head and said, "I'll go to pay the order with Lord Zongxian first, and then I'll spare some time to mute the two exam papers of the prodigy county government for my colleagues to taste. Kam…”
He shoved his way out of the crowd, leaving a few censors behind to watch, and pushed open the door of Li Yu, censor of the capital.
Li Yu had already reported that he was coming, so he put down a file for the Ministry of Officials and waited for him. When he entered the door, he raised his head and asked with a smile, "How did Shang Gui handle this mission?"
Liu Zan said with a smile: "Xiaguan and Xie Qianhu went to Qian'an County and Yongping Prefecture to obtain the testimony of relevant witnesses, which is enough to prove the innocence of Qi Sheng, the prefect of Qian'an County. That bookstore is the son of Cui Langzhong to make the county's scholars have books. It is readable and donated voluntarily, and Qi Sheng has never concealed the merits of his initiative. The two of them are very friendly, and there is no trace of coercion and inducement. The lower official sorted out the file on the road, and asked the general constitution to review it. "
He took out a thick roll of confession from his sleeve, and a written memorial, and sent it to Li Yu's case.
Li Yu looked at these confessions and asked Liu Zan about the situation during the trial from time to time. After he understood it clearly, he signed and sealed it below, ready to submit it to the emperor. Liu Zan gave a salute and was about to leave when Li Yu suddenly stopped him and asked, "You just said that Qian'an prodigy outside, except for the "Four Books of Dialogues", is he really talented? Are there any poems with you?"
Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War set him up as a model for Xiangxue, and Geng Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel also mentioned him after his plan. Even the imperial censor in their courtyard went to Qian'an and came back full of "prodigy" - is it possible that this reclusive prodigy is not Cui The father and son called it out for their fame, are they really talented
Liu Zan said earnestly: "That Cui Xie is really talented and learned. He has only been studying for more than a year, and even I can't put down the articles he wrote. If he could have been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he had studied for a few years, his articles would probably be no less than Wang Shouxi's. !"
Wang Ao and Wang Shouxi were sixteen-year-olds who asked Guozijian students to scramble to recite them. Xie Qian, the champion of the list, was also ridiculed as "Wang Ao for Wen, Xie Qian for appearance".
Liu Zan said with special peace of mind, "Then Cui Xie was born well. If he can study in the Imperial College for a few years before taking the exam, he will never have the regret of 'letting someone's appearance'."
Li Yu shook his head and scolded: "Xie Hanlin is also a person with both talent and virtue, how can he be so mean."
Liu Zan bowed his head to admit his mistake, and said to him: "Xie Qianhu from Jinyiwei said that he was going to check the people who posted to the imperial censor and framed Qi Sheng. He also said that the atmosphere in Beijing should be cleaned up, so that everyone in the future would not be confused. Learning this method, manipulating the censor to attack the political enemy, the party is in harmony with the party, and the reputation of the official is detrimental. I am afraid that some of the colleagues who wrote the book that day will have people from Jinyiwei in the family to collect evidence. What happened, I was terrified."
... In the past two years, Jinyiwei was still a minion of the East-West Second Factory, helping the internal supervisor to harm the courtiers. Now he should devote himself to the clear stream and safeguard the reputation of the official
Li Yu's intuition was that Jin Yiwei was going to use this to clean up the officials, so he quickly stood up and ordered, "Call them in, this official has something to order."
He not only called in the censors to inquire about the identity of the posters, but also took the opportunity of the censors to hand in the decree to defend them with memorials, hoping to keep them in order to avoid falling into some new unjust prison. inside.
Not long after he handed over his memorial, Jin Yiwei's memorial was also sent to the palace, but it was placed on top of his memorial.
Because Wang Zhi was demoted to Nanjing Yumajian last year, and Shangming was sent to Jingjun at the beginning of this year, the big guns of the East and West factories all fell down, and Eunuch Gao made great contributions to painting, and was promoted to Sili Bingbi eunuch. In front of the attendant. He also remembered Xie Ying's contribution to the painting, and when he saw that his memorial was handed over, he took the initiative to turn to a conspicuous place and led the Emperor Chenghua to see it.
The emperor saw the attitude of being loyal and upright in Zuoshuli, and what he wanted to rectify was also a common malady of the officials, so he gently approved the word "ke", Xu Jinyiwei thoroughly investigated the matter, and considered it as an example for future generations.
Li Yu's memorial was handed over, but when he heard that the emperor wanted Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the rumor-mongers, his heart suddenly became vigilant, and he was ready to rescue the censors.
Who would have thought that the ministers of the Qing Dynasty were prepared with heart, and the censors even ordered coffins, but Jin Yiwei never entered their house to search, but only went to ask each family and the neighbors in the same square. On the day of posting, have you seen strangers hanging out nearby.
When did Jin Yiwei become so kind? Was it Wanxi and Wanda, the two quasi-guoqi who saw that the prince had grown up, and learned to restrain their wings; or was it because the factory supervisor of the Dongxi Factory fell, making these Jinyiwei dare not be too presumptuous
Or, is Jin Yiwei, who oversees this case, a clear-cut figure among the factory guards
The case was pushed forward in silence: the officials had never been sparse, and Jin Yiwei had never raided the house. Xie Ying personally investigated and inquired about everything, and turned the capital inside and out. The city was full of ochre-clothed horses, but they didn't disturb the people much, as if this case didn't exist in the first place.
Just when Li Yu almost forgot that there was such a thing, and An Xin was his exam paper officer, Jin Yiwei suddenly played: The case has been found out, and a rogue in Beijing who posted a false accusation has locked it up. In the case, several others who escaped from Beijing were also found by Jin Yiwei and were being escorted back to Beijing. The detainee's trial has been judged, but the person who instructed him was someone who had nothing to do with Qi County magistrate—
She is the wife of Cui Ju, the chief secretary of Yunnan in the Ministry of Housing, and the daughter of Xu Xu, the chief clerk of Taichang Temple.
Because of his official appointment, Xie Ying first filed a petition to remove his official appointment, so that people could be brought to Beizhen Fusi for questioning.
When the memorial was handed over to the cabinet, Wan Shoufu and Liu Cifu's faces were generally ugly. Cui Langzhong was one of them's disciple, and the other's subordinate. When it came to such a framed foreign official, the two masters and Shangguan were all faceless.
Unique Sansuke Liu Ji stayed out of the matter and said unhurriedly, "Don't worry about the two bachelors, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Cui Langzhong. It's his step-wife who made her own decision. After all, she's a small family girl, what to do? It's just a woman's point of view, thinking that it's okay to slander others at will, but unexpectedly, it can hinder her husband's future."
The two first assistants and second assistants have not been pleasing to each other for so many years, and for the first time they have the same thought: that Cui Ju is really unbearable, even a woman in the back house can't control it, and she points out that he can manage anything!
Liu Jue immediately impeached himself, and introspected that he did not pay attention to the rebellion in his subordinate's house and the evil deeds of the woman; Wan An reluctantly reluctantly impeached himself on the ground, and spoke in public to cut off the teacher-student relationship with Cui Lang.
Emperor Chenghua looked at the memorial in the palace, and could not help frowning, and asked the eunuch: "What's the use of a woman, she, framed officials? Didn't she say that the courtyard was presented by her son? Was it her? Home, are you sorry?"
Gao Gongzheng was in front of the emperor, and when he saw the memorial, he remembered that when he went to Qian'an to give Cui Xie an imperial decree, he had to say a few words for his own face and the benefits Xie Ying gave him:
"Go back to the emperor, that Cui Xie who offered the yard is a righteous citizen whom the emperor himself has honored, and he pretended to be loyal and righteous. He wished he could donate all his family property to the imperial court. How could he have any regrets? It's just that the wife of the Xu family did not Xian, I can't see the son of the front room doing righteous deeds, so I secretly found someone to smear him and the Qian'an county magistrate because of his name."
