Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 495 Let Qi Biaojia go to Siberia

Although Yan Dequan knew that people like Qi Biaojia were despised by His Majesty and relegated to a wild place like Qin'an to teach, but after all, Qi Biaojia was also a Jinshi, and his wife and brother were Shang Zhouzuo, the royal censor of the left capital. He didn't dare to short Qi Biaojia's subsidy.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, did not have the guts. He deliberately asked this question just to scare Yan Dequan. Let's see how the county magistrate responded to his own questioning. It is obvious that Yan Dequan's performance made Zhu Youxiao Somewhat disappointed.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, even though he is the Son of Heaven, he should be more than calm when facing his own questioning, not because he is directly frightened into such a state, and now Yan Dequan's performance can be called four words: courage Little cowardly!
"This person can only be a state and county magistrate, and it is difficult to become a great weapon." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help thinking, and at this time, Qi Biaojia also hurriedly stood up and spoke for Yan Dequan; "Your Majesty misunderstood The county magistrate Yan, Duke Yan did not short the minister for subsidies, because the minister had just left the farm work and was in a hurry to see the driver, so he didn't have time to change his shoes and socks, so please don't wish for the county magistrate Yan."

"Li Mingrui", Zhu Youxiao is quite displeased with Qi Biaojia's actions. As a mature official, you should know that you, the emperor, should not take the initiative to defend or excuse others before asking you, because there will either be The suspicion of winning people's hearts is either because he didn't really take His Majesty the Emperor seriously, and his heart was full of what the real facts looked like.

The former has ulterior motives but the methods are too simple and simple, while the latter is a bit rigid and rebellious, and Qi Biaojia obviously belongs to the latter, and there is still a hint of arrogance in his heart and dissatisfaction with how the emperor treats the scholar-official class.

Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Qi Biaojia, and at this moment, Li Mingrui stepped forward: "What is your majesty's order?"

"Which county magistrates in Siberia still haven't arranged?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The northernmost Liye Prefecture still lacks a prefecture, so it is covered with snow all the year round, and the climate is so cold that there are not many residents living here, even the Evenki Most of the people have moved out of here, and therefore, there is no time to send officials to work here.”

"Let him go," Zhu Youxiao pointed to Qi Biaojia and said.

Li Mingrui replied "Yes", since Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked him about Siberia, he guessed that Zhu Youxiao was going to exile Qi Biaojia to become an official in a worse environment, but Li Mingrui was also very annoyed , secretly cursing Qi Biaojia for being stubborn, not knowing how to change things, obviously His Majesty chooses the Southwest as the first stop of his tour of the world, and he intends to improve relations with these Jiangnan literati exiled in the Southwest, but these Jiangnan literati are obviously ignorant of politics. Such a big setback does not have the slightest intention of truly convincing His Majesty.

Now being exiled by His Majesty again is also to blame.

Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, was also very surprised by this. When he first saw the present majesty questioning himself, he was so frightened that His Majesty was dissatisfied with him, so he knelt down to defend himself. not easy.

But he didn't expect that His Majesty would deal with Qi Biaojia in the blink of an eye. Even a small county magistrate like Yan Dequan knew what it meant to go to those places in Siberia to go to the county magistrate, and it was no different from going to those places to migrate.

There are even rumors in the market that it is better to be a small official inside the pass than to be an official outside the pass. Now that His Majesty wants Zhu Youxiao to go to Siberia to be the magistrate, of course it is not to promote Qi Biaojia's official, but to let Qi Biaojia To bear greater difficulties and setbacks.

Like Li Mingrui, Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, also looked at Qi Biaojia with sympathy.

And Qi Biaojia himself was quite touched, he didn't expect His Majesty's sudden order to let him go to a farther place to be an official. Qin'an County, which doesn't shit, persisted for several years before finally adapting to the life here, but now he has to go farther and colder outside the pass, he naturally feels painful.

But he has never only known to study knowledge, and he abides by the traditional teachings of Confucianism, and he doesn't understand what he said wrong in front of His Majesty, and why His Majesty suddenly exiled himself to a worse place.

However, if Qi Biaojia really took the courage to kowtow to Zhu Youxiao for mercy, at least he could completely let go of the arrogance of a literati in front of His Majesty like Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, but he couldn't do it.

Therefore, Qi Biaojia still gritted his teeth and bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "My minister obeys the order, thank you for your majesty's long grace, long live long live your majesty."

At this time, Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, couldn't bear it for Qi Biaojia when he saw this, so he hurriedly bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, forgive me for taking the liberty. Although Qi Biaojia is young and does not know etiquette, he offended His Majesty But please don’t know your Majesty, his wife is just pregnant and has several children, if he is allowed to be an official in Siberia, it may affect his wife’s delivery and the growth of his family’s children.”

Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Yan Dequan, the magistrate of Qin'an County, who was a little timid at the beginning, would have the courage to plead for Qi Biaojia in front of him, and he obviously knew how to be an official. The way of life.

"Although his abilities are limited, his heart is still kind. If he was a magistrate, he would not carelessly ignore human life and do things that hurt the nature and reason." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but change his view of Yan Dequan in his heart, and he understood that a Gongsheng was born in his heart. Now it seems that there is a reason why he can become the main hall of a county.

"His wife and children don't have to go with him. I will send an order to Shang Zhouzuo, the censor of Zuodu, and ask him to help you take care of your wife and children. You go to Siberia and be a good parent officer for me. Do you know?" Zhu Youxiao After speaking, he got into the chariot, and Qi Biaojia had mixed feelings in his heart. Looking at the stretch of green hills in front of him, he could only feel that he still had to leave here after all, but not because he could return to his hometown, but because he wanted to go to his hometown. A more desolate and icy cold place, and this time without family.

After passing Hanzhong, he entered the land of Bashu. Wang Siren, who was exiled to Suiding Mansion, also met Zhu Youxiao face to face at this time. Unlike Qi Biaojia, Wang Siren obviously had to assess the situation a lot. He specially brought his current group of students to pick him up right after Fang Yuanbang, the Suiding government government.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao got out of the car, he was attracted by Wang Siren and a group of young students about 12 years old behind him. It can be seen that although these young people are wearing coarse cloth clothes, some are still patched, but Quite generous and calm.

Although Zhu Youxiao is currently riding in a carriage with a shock-absorbing system, and a soft leather sofa is installed inside, his bones still seem to be disintegrated by the bumps along the way. He is quite tired and has to be supported by Liu Rushi Go down.

"Fang Yuanbang, the governor of Suiding Prefecture, has seen His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." At this time, an official wearing a fourth-rank crimson robe came over. Fat and short, with a sense of joy, and a very respectful demeanor, he couldn't help but smile: "Get up, it's hard for you, running so far to meet you."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked around, but there were rolling mountains and plank roads hidden among the mountains, and he couldn't help saying: "It is said that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. I have realized it today. If so, Go and get a cup of mountain spring water here, I want to taste the taste of Longjing before the rain is soaked in the water of heaven."

"Alas", Liu Rushi, who is playful by nature, rarely travels far away. Seeing the greenery and wild flowers in the mountains and fields has long been fascinated, so he hurriedly responded, took the imperial kettle and carried the skirt to the mountain stream. Jin Yiwei hurriedly followed.

Zhu Youxiao also asked Fang Yuanbang, the magistrate of Suiding Prefecture: "Who is Wang Siren here?"

This is the fact. Although Zhu Youxiao once waved his hand and asked the people in Dongchang to send the famous Confucianist from Shanyin, the so-called Mr. Ji Zhong, to this poor mountain for nearly ten years, but he didn't even know what he looked like.

Fang Yuanbang signaled to Wang Siren, and Wang Siren came to pay homage to Zhu Youxiao: "The guilty minister Wang Siren has seen His Majesty."

Calling himself a criminal minister at least shows that Wang Siren has admitted that he is guilty of resisting the emperor's new reforms in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes Zhu Youxiao's impression of this Wang Siren improved a little bit.

At this time, the magistrate of Suiding Prefecture seemed to have noticed that Zhu Youxiao was a little tired and wanted to sit down and rest, so he rushed to the side of a large bluestone slab beside Zhu Youxiao, and then gritted his teeth and squatted down his fat body , wiped the bluestone slab clean with his sleeve before standing up again:

"Your Majesty has been wiped clean. Please sit down and rest for the time being. This place is still some distance away from Fucheng. Fortunately, it is still early. Your Majesty does not need to hurry. There are many mountains and steep roads in Suiding, which is not good. It is the fault of a humble minister to smooth the road and make His Majesty suffer from bumps and bumps, so please forgive your Majesty."

Fang Yuanbang from the Suiding Mansion is obviously a person who loves to show off and be courteous in front of his superiors. Judging by his plump appearance, Zhu Youxiao has to wonder whether this person has serious corruption, but he can't do it for no reason. Punish people from crimes.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to laugh and said: "What does the landform created by the sky have to do with you? What is your crime? You must not wipe it with an official robe in the future. This is an imperial artifact, a dignified fourth-rank official uniform." , a symbol of majesty and power, how can it be used directly as a rag!"

Zhu Youxiao said so, but Fang Yuanbang, the magistrate of Suiding Prefecture, pleaded guilty again and again, and at the same time, his forehead was already slightly sweating. Sweat some.

At this time, Liu Rushi happily took a pot full of clear spring water and ran back. He personally brought a small stove from the car and began to add firewood to boil water. Fang Yuanbang sat down on the side of the bluestone slab, touched the wet grass with his hands, and felt that the palms of his hands were also soft.

"Wang Siren, sit down too, and tell me how you feel in Suiding Mansion." After the tea boiled and the fire went out, Liu Rushi took a cup of tea and handed it to Zhu Youxiao before sitting on his knees, quietly Looking at Wang Siren and Zhu Youxiao quietly.

With mountains, waters and tea, and a beautiful girl Liu Rushi accompanying him, Zhu Youxiao naturally felt very comfortable. At this time, the Fifth Army who followed him had Zhu Youxiao as the center, controlling the security within ten miles area, and the guards in Jinyi also pulled out their Xiuchun knives. Although Zhu Youxiao was comfortable now, they had to be more vigilant.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to live tremblingly on his own land, for fear that his political enemies would take the opportunity to kill him, so he didn't need to be so vigilant, and the Fifth Army and Jinyiwei who were in charge of security He was very nervous, this is his professional habit, and Zhu Youxiao didn't criticize him very much.

"These heroic people behind you are all taught by you", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking Wang Siren at this time, and asked Liu Rushi to make Wang Siren a cup of tea. In addition to making tea for other people, his face was quite reluctant.

Wang Siren saw that the lady beside His Majesty was unparalleled in beauty, and she was a little cute, so he couldn't help being touched, secretly fantasizing whether he could ask His Majesty to bestow this person as a concubine, but it's a pity that he didn't have much grace, so naturally he couldn't win His Majesty of love.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what Wang Siren was thinking about. At this moment, he also quietly watched the process of Liu Rushi making a cup of tea. Updo, but you can see the pink earlobe, which makes people want to reach out and touch it.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the sinners who are teaching. They are all 17 to [-] years old. Two of them have already made up the prefectural school students, and one has made up the county school students. Most of them have already read the four books. There are more than ten people who come from Fanyi in the southwest."

Wang Siren had figured out the right way at this time, knowing that the Holy Majesty pays attention to education today, so he never said anything about whether His Majesty should leave Beijing, nor did he mention that His Majesty deviated from the scriptures and took a palace lady to tour the world, etc., only in front of Zhu Youxiao. own education.

Just as Wang Siren expected, after hearing Wang Siren's answer, Zhu Youxiao felt very satisfied. After all, these were one of his purposes for sending these Jiangnan literati and officials to live in a mixed Han-Yi environment in the southwest.

"Very good", Zhu Youxiao nodded as he said: "Tell me, what do you want me to reward you?"

"I would like to ask the sister next to Your Majesty to play a piece of music. I don't know if Your Majesty will agree to this kindness." Wang Siren is now watching Liu Rushi more and more satisfied. Staying in the Forbidden City, so it is only now that Wang Siren knows that there are such extraordinary women in the world.

Wang Siren wanted to directly ask His Majesty Zhu Youxiao to reward Liu Rushi to him, but he didn't dare to ask directly because he didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, so he decided to test it out first to see if Liu Rushi would be rewarded. How does His Majesty feel when playing a piece of music?

What Wang Siren didn't even think about was that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao said two words without thinking: "No!" Wang Siren was very surprised, and Liu Rushi also widened his eyes, staring at Zhu You school.
