Great Ye Empress

Chapter 387 Chuzhou
Guo Zidu's experience... is somewhat similar to Xie Yunchu's senior brother Gu Xingzhi.

Guo Zidu's grandfather was wronged, and his family suffered, and then he was awarded the title of grandfather to plead for his wrongdoing.

Grandpa Xie once gave Guo Zidu the word, Jieyun, which means that Guo Zidu's character is as clean as clouds, and he hopes that Guo Zidu's career in the future... can also be as clean as clouds.

There is always a reason for people to be greedy, such as Wang Qiudao and Zhang Siyuan, the former two prefects of Taiyuan.

One is being forced to be greedy by the surrounding environment and the desire for a future.
One is that his family members suffered with him because he was too clean, so he suddenly changed his mind and jumped into the mud.

Another example is Li Shiguan, the governor of Hangzhou, who was collecting evidence.

The book says that Guo Zi committed suicide in fear of sin.

Xie Yunchu did not think that Guo Zi was "suicide in fear of sin" by others.

Everything has to be examined in detail before conclusions can be drawn.

When Xie Yunchu got the Yiying Dossier from the Ministry of Housing, he saw Tian Ping'an's name on the name of the dossier.

Xie Yunchu took the dossier in his hand and rubbed it for a moment, then returned to the Censor Tai Yamen, and said with Yu Qianchao and Xie Yunwang... Three days later, they set off for Chuzhou to investigate the case.

Xie Yunchu had to tell Ji Jingci about this matter. Now Ji Jingci settled in Bianjing mostly for Xie Yunchu, and she naturally had to tell Ji Jingci when she wanted to leave Beijing.

When Xie Yun first arrived at Ji Mansion, he didn't let Qingren inform him, and walked quietly to the door of the study. Seeing that Ji Jing was sitting at the desk, he coughed a few times from time to time.

The fine snow fell like broken jade.

Xie Yunchu tightened his fists on the side of his body. Since A Ci tried medicine for Shenyi Gu in order to save her three years ago, his body has not been as good as before, and people have visibly lost weight.

It was probably because he accompanied Xie Yunchu over the years to be infected with the political affairs, Ji Jingci also lost a bit of the immortal air of immortality, and had a more earthly feeling.

The gestures and gestures are full of the calm and profoundness that surpasses all living beings after the precipitation of the years.

However, because Xie Yunchu's body is getting healthier and he can stay with him, and the matter of teaching the seventh prince is moving forward in an orderly manner according to their initial plans, and even Xie Yunchu has already put the idea of ​​reform into the seventh prince unknowingly. in thought.

According to Qingfeng, the past three years have been the three years when Ji Jingci smiled the most.

The thick snow slid down from the pines, causing the branches to tremble for a while, and then fell a lot, finally revealing the green needles of the pines.

Ji Jingci raised his head, and saw Xie Yunchu in official uniform and fox fur standing outside the door looking at him.

He put his pen down and let Xie Yunchu sit down with a smile, cleaned his hands and walked to the table to sit down, and instructed Qingfeng to get a hand stove to keep Xie Yunchu warm.

When Qing Feng went to get the hand stove, Ji Jingci reached out and shook Xie Yunchu's hand, frowning slightly: "Why is it so cold? But why is it uncomfortable?"

"I thought about something on the way, but I didn't use the stove."

With that said, Xie Yunchu handed a document from the Ministry of Household to Ji Jingci from his sleeve: "This case is strange, and the emperor gave it to me to check the whereabouts of the money."

Ji Jingci took over the confession and checked it carefully.

Xie Yunchu stretched out his hand to bake on the red charcoal stove and said: "The imperial court has been corrupt for a long time. Although the imperial court has a system and the Ministry of officials has also introduced a corresponding assessment system for promotion, it is not a complete reform after all, and it only caused a temporary shock. It’s a role in photography. Nowadays, officials and officials protect each other, and they are greedy for each other, encroaching on the interests of the court and the people. I heard that the magistrate of Guizhou gave gifts to the third prince a few years ago, and the gift money alone was 10 taels!"

Xie Yunchu rubbed his hands together, and frowned: "This 5 taels... is it worth Guo Zidu's suicide?"

Ji Jing nodded.

"Besides, Guo Zi is both a student of his grandfather, and he sends people to Xie's house every year to give gifts. If Guo Zi is really a corrupt official, since he is thinking about his teacher, the gifts...however it will not be just a local specialty." Xie Yunchu Thinking of the details of the New Year's gift, "If you don't have a grandfather in your heart, don't give it away!"

Students who go out from Yunshan Academy every year, even if they can't come to see Mrs. Xie in person on the New Year's Day, they will give a gift.

Whether it was thanks to Grandpa Xie for his help, or because Grandpa Xie was now in the Ministry of Personnel, Xie Yunchu was valued by the emperor again.

Guo Zidu's boxing is often shabby among other people's boxing.

But Mr. Xie valued the thoughts of the students who left the academy, not the value of these gifts.

"Not to mention..." Xie Yunchu raised his eyes brightened by the charcoal fire and looked at Ji Jingci, "Guo Zi can completely ask Tian Ping'an to send a letter to his grandfather, please uncle Xie or me to solve the problem."

Hearing the name Tian Ping'an, Ji Jingci picked up the document just placed on the table and glanced at it.

"Tian Ping'an is also a student of Yunshan Academy. He was sent to Chuzhou as a criminal judge last June. He handled this case." Xie Yunchu said with Ji Jing.

"Are you going to Chuzhou?" Ji Jingci asked.

Xie Yunchu nodded: "You have to go and see it before you can understand this case. It will also be beneficial for future reforms to formulate new laws to check for omissions and fill vacancies."

Ji Jingci didn't stop Xie Yunchu, he endured his cough and only asked her, "When do you leave?"

"Let's go after three days." Xie Yunchu picked up the hot tea boiled on the red clay stove, poured a cup for Ji Jingci, and pushed it in front of Ji Jingci.

Qing Feng also returned with the hand stove, handed it to Xie Yunchu respectfully, and then retreated outside the door.

"In such a hurry, I'll leave in three days. I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you. Let Qingfeng follow you!" Ji Jing said.

When Qing Feng, who was standing outside the door, heard this, he cautiously turned his head and looked into the room.

I only feel that my master seems to be more and more interested in Xie Liulang, and... Xie Liulang gets along with his own master, and he can't see the sense of respect as a teacher before.

"You can't leave Qingfeng by your side, I have Yechen with me, as well as the guards and dead men of Chen Jun's Xie family, nothing will happen, don't worry." Xie Yunchu and Ji Jingci showed a slight smile, "I can be with you today. Do you eat here?"

Ji Jingci looked at Xie Yunchu's fair face with a smile, and the smile deepened in his deep and narrow eyebrows: "Are you hungry?"

"Well, I want to enter the palace at noon to teach the seventh prince, I'm not full, I'm hungry now..." Xie Yunchu nodded obediently.

"Qingfeng, let's pass the meal!" Ji Jingci said and pushed the dessert at hand to Xie Yunchu, "Put the pad first, do you want buttermilk?"

Xie Yunchu took a bite of the snack and shook his head.

The two had dinner, and the wind and snow became bigger and bigger.

When Xie Yunchu came out of Ji Mansion, the gloomy sky was already dark.

Bianjing's row upon row of blue-waisted pavilions and double-eave restaurants are lit up with bright lights, like winding golden dragons, intertwined in the white and thick clouds and snow, reflecting the prosperity and liveliness of Bianjing, as if Heavenly Palace.
