When the new textbooks gradually integrated into the classroom, the imperial envoy from the capital finally arrived in Nanmin Province. On the surface, he came to commend the heroes in the war of Japanese war, but in private, he came to investigate the matter.

The case of Zhao Kuan's bribery.

Lin Futong was in a downturn for a while, but a few days ago, he received a letter from there, saying that the emperor was skeptical about Zhu Wei's impeachment and did not directly convict him, so there was still room for improvement in this matter. The court had sent an imperial envoy

The minister went to Nanmin Province. All Lin Futong had to do was to hide his tail. If something was found out, once convicted, they would be far away from the court and would not be able to help.

After reading the letter, Lin Futong felt a lot of gratitude, as long as he was willing to give him a chance, it would be great. Generally speaking, once something like this suspected of colluding with spies and being in touch with foreign countries broke out, the court's way of handling it was Ning.

He was extremely glad that he had chosen the right backer at that time, otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.

In fact, Lin Fu Tong was wrong. If it weren't for the difficulty of cultivating a rank-in-law official, those people would have wanted to give up on him directly. Who would have known that he would be mixed with Japanese spies? It would be really hard to scold him.

This time I will give him the last chance. If he can't seize the opportunity and reveal his mistakes, don't blame them for being ruthless then.

...

"I have met the imperial envoy, and I am Lin Futong, the governor of Nanmin. I don't know that the imperial envoy is here today. I have misunderstood him. Please forgive me."

On the dock, Lin Futong and a group of people personally welcomed the arrival of the imperial envoy. The fishy sea breeze blew over and over again, blew the faces of those waiting here red. Although it was already March, here

It was still quite cold on the beach. It was hard for them to stand here for so long.

Mu Yuanxiu used to go to Beijing from Xijiang Province to take the test by land. This time, time was tight, and the waterway was smoother than before, so he walked over. Unexpectedly, he actually had seasickness.

.When I got on the boat on Taiping Mansion, I was drowsy all day long. I suffered a lot of torture all the way.

At this time, he saw someone who was trying to leave this trip, so he naturally couldn't give him a good look.

"The lower-ranking officials are just a minor young master in Dali Temple, and they can't afford such a great gift from the adults." The young master in Dali Temple is a fourth-rank official, while the governor is a second-rank official, and there is a gap between the two.

"What did the imperial envoy say? If you go on a patrol on behalf of the emperor, you will be a commoner and have a higher status than me. How dare you ask the imperial envoy for his noble surname?" Lin Futong deliberately raised his status and showed that he respected the imperial power very much.

It looks like I want to paralyze Mu Yuanxiu.

Little did he know that his move was more like a self-indulgence. In Mu Yuanxiu's opinion, this person would please him 80% because he was guilty of being a thief. Otherwise, how could a dignified official of the second-rank rank rank, surrender to a fourth-rank

Inspector?

"Xiaoguan thought the governor had already found out." He mocked him with sarcasm, "Xiaoguan's surname is Mu, and his courtesy name is Yuanxiu."

Lin Futong was so thick that his awl could not be pierced at this time. How could he keep his light words in mind? Hearing this, he said, "It turns out that it is Lord Mu. Lord Mu has been exhausted all the way, and I guess he is already very tired.

.I have already opened a room in the best inn in the city. If Lord Mu doesn’t dislike it, go there for a little rest.”

After hearing this, Mu Yuanxiu smiled: "No need, the court has regulations that officials need to live in the official office when going out. Please send someone who recognizes the way to take us to surrender."

This excuse is very insincere. Lin Futong was rejected again and again, and his face was a little bit bad. But he still forced a smile: "It's so great. Fortunately, Lord Mu mentioned it, otherwise I would have made a mistake today.

Come, take Lord Mu and the others to the official office.”

Mu Yuanxiu bowed to him, and then ordered his followers to pack up their things. The group walked over to Lin Futong without squinting, put his face on the ground and stepped on it.

Lin Futong was angry but couldn't get angry, so he could only clench his fists, thinking that he would find a way to punish him after he left Nanmin. It would be better to let him go without a reply!

Mu Yuanxiu rested in the inn for a day before he felt down to earth. After his spirit recovered a little, he immediately began to send people to notify the people on the commendation list. There was only one imperial edict, and he had to wait for everyone.

Only after all of them are here can you read it.

When everyone heard that there was an imperial edict to be accepted, no one dared to delay. In just half an hour, everyone was here.

In fact, most of the people on the list are in this provincial capital, like Chu Ci in the capital city. As soon as the news of the imperial envoy arrived yesterday spread, he had to come over to wait for a boat, otherwise it would be a negligence of the imperial edict.

After all the matters were fully prepared, Mu Yuanxiu picked up the imperial edict and began to read it: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor's edict said..."

"I'm going to receive the order to thank you!" After hearing the order, everyone said in unison, and then got up. Chu Ci moved his legs without knowing the traces, complaining endlessly in his heart. This is the thing he hated the most in ancient times, always

It’s not friendly to your knees when you’re always going to kneel!

Chu Ci was not very happy. This time he made suggestions and went deep into the enemy camp himself. The contribution he made should be the first priority, right? But compared to others, his reward was the least.

Meng Fan got what he wanted and could join the job in September this year. Zhu Wei's official position did not change, but he was granted a second-rank imperial edict to his wife. After that, another person in the family would receive state allowances.

.Fan Ju can also be transferred to another wealthy place to be an official. In addition, there are material rewards, such as antique jade, which cannot be used for money, but the name of this imperial gift is

They were even more happy to take money. Especially Meng Fan, holding a Ru kiln ice hat bowl, his hands trembled like Parkinson's, and his face was squeaking unconsciously.

And he, apart from a pair of jade pots and spring bottles on both ears, received a few verbal praises, and did not say when he would be transferred back to the capital. It was really depressing.

After the imperial edict was read, Chu Ci was about to withdraw with the others, but heard Lord Mu call him over. Chu Ci was a little surprised. Shouldn’t such a capital and local official avoid suspicion? He was going to withdraw first and then come quietly.

When I visited, I didn’t expect that Lord Mu would not hide it at all. Could it be that he was a school official who did not have real power?

The other people also took a look in surprise before exiting the house.

"Master Chu, do you know why this official called you?" Mu Yuanxiu looked at Chu Ci and asked. He found that this kid had a good appearance. He had been in this coastal area for two or three years.

It is white and clean, without any feeling of wind and frost erosion.

Chu Ci hurriedly said, "Mr. Mu, just call me A Ci. Ci thanked you for your recommendation, but now I will never be able to say anything to you."

Mu Yuanxiu laughed and said, "Then don't call Lord Mu, just call me Uncle Mu. I have a close relationship with your Mr. Xu, so there is no need to be so restricted. Speaking of which, before I came to Nanmin Province, I happened to pass by.

Xijiang Province, your husband happened to be patrolling there, so I had a few drinks with your husband."

Chu Ci's eyes lit up: "I wonder if my husband is in good health?"

"I'm in good health, but that bad habit has always been there." Speaking of this, Mu Yuanxiu and Chu Ci both smiled. Obviously, everyone understands that his problem will never be able to be changed in their lifetime.

"I always felt that if he hadn't had this bad habit, he might have become a rank-level official now. His talent would have learned the basics." Mu Yuan practiced.

Chu Ci nodded deeply: "Mr.'s talent is naturally unfathomable. I just regret that I cannot always be with me and study with me day and night. Some time ago, Nanmin encountered Japanese attacks, and the entire province was sealed off. Let me and me be with me.

Mr. Yi temporarily disconnected from contact. Fortunately, the ban was issued a month ago, so I sent a letter to both gentlemen. But I had not received a reply from Mr. Xu, and it turned out that he had inspected on behalf of the governor."

Mu Yuanxiu was a little surprised: "Two gentlemen? In addition to Brother Xu, did you even worship a master? He actually agreed?"

Xu Zheng’s bad habits are more than that. He is also domineering and stubborn, and he actually allows his disciples to take others as his teachers? Could it be that he thinks that person is more knowledgeable than him?

Chu Ci touched his nose embarrassedly: "This... Actually, Mr. Xu is the master I worship later."

Oh, Mu Yuanxiu can understand this. Xu Zheng can do it if he steals other people's disciples. However, this also shows that Xu Zheng is indeed optimistic about Chu Ci, otherwise, a mediocre talent is not worthy of his controversy.

Rob?

"So that gentleman allows you to join the sect?"

Chu Ci recalled that he couldn't help but be moved: "It was Mr. Xu who my husband recommended to me. The scriptures I treated were different from those of Mr. Xu. He was afraid that he would delay my studies, so he wrote a letter to Mr. Xu...

…”

After hearing Chu Ci's words, Mu Yuanxiu was a little respectful to the master. He suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the imperial court seemed to have sent a plaque to Xijiang Province, which was said to have been invited by Chu Ci from the emperor.

"Your gentleman is that 'the model of a teacher'?" Although Mu Yuanxiu used questions, his words showed a bit of confidence.

"That's right!" Chu Ci nodded, "His surname is Qin, and he is the chief of the school in Yuanshan County, Ganzhou Prefecture."

Mu Yuanxiu's mind flashed: "But he is called Qin Xinran?"

"Uncle Mu knows my Mr. Qin?" Chu Ci was also a little surprised.

"So it's him, hasn't Mr. Xu said it? I was the same year as him."

"So that's it. Then you and Mr. Qin of my family are naturally the same year?"

"That's right. During the provincial examination, they were one of the Spring and Autumn Period Fang Jingkui and the Song Jingkui. Unfortunately, I also managed the Spring and Autumn Period, but I lived under your Mr. Xu. In the end, I got a Yakui."

In the past, Mu Yuanxiu felt a little moved.

"It can be seen that things in the world are impermanent, but in the end, you are more outstanding." Chu Ci said.

"That's not true. I'm just a little more luck than the two of them." Mu Yuanxiu looked into the distance and shook his head, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and then he looked at Chu Ci again, "You two gentlemen, you

All of them are talented, no wonder they can teach a top scholar who is ranked three-year and the top scholar."

Chu Ci was a little shy: "It's just luck, not worth mentioning."

Mu Yuanxiu was not polite: "I am indeed lucky. I also know that Zhang Songnian. He took you as Jie Yuan in Xijiang Province, but those people in the capital were thinking about it and didn't understand how to go back.

thing."

"However," his style changed again, "luck is also very important. Taoist people often say that one is life, two is luck, three is Feng Shui, four is good deeds and five is reading, which shows that luck is better than anything else."
