I Am a Wishing Tree

Chapter 40: Episode 18

    He also seized the military and political power in Sichuan and Shu. In the next time, He Ai was very busy. He first used the rebellion of Chengwang to clean the whole territory and establish his own After gaining absolute prestige, He Ai began to issue some decrees according to the situation in Sichuan and Shu according to local conditions.

    For the new officials dispatched by the imperial court, although He Ai directly sent them to various places to fill vacancies, he paid special attention to ideological education for them, and issued a "Code of Conduct for Officials" written by him personally. , they are required to do the same thing, and they also need to write a monthly summary of their learning experience and practice, and report their thoughts to He Ai, who will visit various places from time to time.

    Strive to make regulations such as loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, caring for the people, loyalty to duty, and not to embezzle and bend the law deeply into the minds of those officials and become their instinctive code of conduct.

    People in this era are different from people in the impetuous world of later generations. In He Ai's view, their minds should be relatively simple, even if some of them are born with excellent talents , it is also easy to be brainwashed, as long as they are taught with good enough reasons.

    Therefore, He Ai's set of ideological teaching mode, which was pioneering in this era, had a profound impact on those officials. It is a piece of fat, and all forces are watching closely.

    The officials who can be sent here are the result of the competition of various forces. He Ai has taken the most critical position, and he will hand over all the new Yungui land to The newly appointed officials from Jinlan Academy, even if Emperor Mingjing is the emperor, can only make some concessions in the transfer of other Sichuan and Shu officials.

      Following He Ai's orders, the news of the implementation of the New Deal in Sichuan and Shu came back to the court, which shocked the court and the public.

      It will regenerate the chaos of war in the just-settled Sichuan and Shu, destroy the imperial leadership, shake the country's foundation, and ask the Holy Spirit to read it!"

    "Return to the Holy Book!"

    The ministers who fought tit-for-tat for territory in Sichuan and Shu some time ago are now working together to impeach He Ai. Emperor Mingjing glanced coldly at the ministers below.

    Even if he took the opportunity in the past eight years, he would clean it up once, but because of concerns about the stability of the court, he never dared to take too big steps to make them really hurt He moved his bones, but his actions became more cautious and smooth, trying his best to make him unable to grasp the handle.

    "What the Qing family played is that He Yu promoted the study of the "Code of Conduct for Officials" among the officials in Sichuan and Shu? Zuo Xiu wrote it, and I will recite the "Official Code of Conduct" for you adults. "Code of Conduct", let you all listen carefully to see which one is wrong here."

    "Liu Ying, go and prepare first, and when you go to court later, be sure to prepare a copy of the "Official Code of Conduct" for each adult, so that they can go back and compare with their hearts and also Give me a good study of Lord He's experience as an official!"

    As the champion of the new division the previous year, Zuo Mingchang is now one of the backbones of Jinlan Academy, and is very trusted by Emperor Mingjing. Qualification to walk.

    At this moment, receiving an order from Emperor Mingjing, Zuo Mingchang immediately stepped out and stood in the hall, clearly reciting the contents of the "Code of Conduct for Officials" one by one.

      This book of "Code of Conduct for Officials" should know that it is the experience of being an official that Lord He summed up after putting into practice the words and deeds of the sages. You can't do it. ridiculous!"

    It is not that these ministers do not know the content of the "Code of Conduct for Officials", but He Ai wrote it in a vernacular style. First of all, let them take it lightly, thinking that it is difficult to be elegant, I was so disgusted that I didn't have the patience to really look at it.

    And because he learned that He Ai was forcing their disciples and nephews to study these things in Sichuan and Shu, he changed his mind, and even regarded this book as a crooked and evil theory that can confuse people's minds , will have so much magic power.

      The commentary and practice that have become the words and deeds of sages are only summed up by He Ji in an easy-to-understand and straightforward way.

    "It's the minister and others who misunderstood, please punish the Holy Master!"

    Emperor Ming Jing smiled lightly.

    "There is no need for punishment. I think that Mr. He Yu has a good way of promoting ideological education among his subordinate officials. Therefore, I have referred to Mr. He's successful experience and personally compiled it for you. Having read the Civil Service Code, the Military Military Code and this Code of Honor, I hope you will go back and study hard, and be required to memorize them by heart, and submit regular reports on your study thoughts and practice summaries!”

    When the officials in the court heard the words, all of them suddenly looked ugly, but they didn't dare to question, they could only respectfully respond.

    Seeing the reactions of these people, Emperor Mingjing felt very happy in his heart, he finally found the best way to deal with these ministers, let them learn, learn their own thoughts and words and deeds, no matter what they can Can't really do it, at least it can help them.

    Just as I said, everyone will hurt each other, and whoever is afraid will lose!

    In addition to requiring these officials in the court to learn, the local official Ming Jingdi did not let it go, although he also knew that the learning effect of other officials was definitely not as good as the one in the Sichuan and Shu land controlled by He Ai Officials learn well, but as long as they can influence these officials, it is better than doing nothing at all.

    Now every time I think of He Ai who is far away in Sichuan, Emperor Mingjing misses a little. He knows that if He Ai is left in the court, his pressure will be much less, many he thinks He Ai can help him to do things that are inconvenient to do, and to say things that are inconvenient to say.

    Emperor Ming Jing knew better that putting He Ai outside could help him do more and more real things.

    The 19th year of Mingjing was also the seventh year of He Ai's expatriation.

    He Ai was very surprised to see Liu Conglan and Chen Mingxiu, who were over fifty years old, bring their children, accompanied by Mu Changrong, to this place in Sichuan and Shu.

    After hurriedly saluting, she quickly helped Liu Conglan to sit in the hall.

    "Mother, why don't you tell me in the letter that you want to see me? It's so far away, I don't know anything about it, if there is any accident on the way, let me know How is it?"

    Since he took office as a foreigner, he has always maintained a frequency of communication with his family once every ten days, except for the period when he was suddenly appointed as the general to pacify the chaos. Clearly, before that, the family had never disclosed the tone of their visit to him.

    Therefore, he never thought that Liu Conglan and the others would make a surprise attack, and looking at Mu Changrong who was with him, He Ai was even more puzzled.

    "Also, Changrong, aren't you in Yungui? How did you two get together?"

    It was Mu Changrong who explained.

    "Reporting to the lord, when the new prefect of Yungui, Mr. Jiang appointed by the sage, was about to take office, the students mentioned in the correspondence with Mr. He, who knew that the old lady and the others were with Mr. Jiang and the others. Here, after the students have completed the handover work, they are about to return to Beijing, so they will **** the old lady to see the adults."

    He Ai looked at him sharply, "Why do you have contact with my girl?"

    Mu Changrong replied with a little guilty and nervous.

    "Sir, when you came to Sichuan and Shu to pacify the chaos, you had no time to contact your family. The students were worried about Junior Sister He and they were worried, so they sent a letter to briefly explain the situation. Later, they kept in touch occasionally. !"

    "You've Known Before"

    Liu Conglan waved her hand and said, "Brother Rong is a good boy, thanks to his help along the way, we can find this place well, please ask him to sit down and have a good rest, you Where did so many come from, Sister Qiao and the others have been studying in the academy, and they know Brother Rong, what's so strange?"

    Mu Changrong nodded again and again, "Yes, my lord, the student and Miss He knew each other at that time, but I always thought she was a little brother at the time. Later, I received a reply from her handwritten letter and recognized it. Only by her handwriting did I know that she was actually a maid!"

    He Ai turned to look at Chen Mingxiu and stood beside Chen Mingxiu. He Qiaoer, who had just taken off her hat, saw that although she lowered her head and wrapped her fingers around her hair, she would occasionally look at him and Mu Changrong Here, there are numbers in mind.

    "Okay, I don't want to pursue anything, Changrong has helped me a lot, I can only thank him, you have been tired all the way, you have worked hard, go to the backyard to wash and rest first, I'll order someone to prepare the meal first!"

    Due to her real identity, He Ai never let anyone wait on her. Although Qingsong and others often followed her, they managed various affairs around him separately.

    In this propaganda government, there are only some servants who are responsible for cleaning and cooking, and a few servants who are responsible for running errands and sending letters. , making the entire Xuanzheng Envoy's mansion look very deserted, and now suddenly there are a large number of He family members and a large group of servants they brought, which immediately becomes much livelier.

    After Mu Changrong packed up first, he came to see He Ai in the study under the leadership of the servant.

    "I've seen adults!"

    He Ai raised his hand and gestured, "Stop making those rude gestures, sit down, I'm not your adult now, tell me, what are your plans next?"

    Mu Changrong not only did not sit down, but knelt on both knees and replied sincerely.

     "The most important thing students want to do now is to ask the adults to marry the daughter!"
