Chapter 221: There are thorns everywhere
Although she didn't have a particularly good impression of herself when they met for the first time, Chu Xian was familiar with everything about Li Ziyun, hobbies, interests, what she liked to eat, and what she was afraid of rejecting.
Suddenly, Chu Xian felt that his decision to come to Southern Xinjiang was too shrewd, and if he didn't come, he wouldn't be able to meet Li Ziyun.
In a good mood, Chu Xian felt that his steps were also much lighter.
It was already past the afternoon at this moment, and when he returned to the Academy, Chu Xian found that there were not many people in the Academy.
The civil officials, compilers, and writers were all there, only a few small officials, when they saw Chu Xian, they recognized it as the new deputy editor, and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"What about people?"
Chu Xian asked curiously, when he came in the morning, there were obviously more than a dozen officials in the Academy, why couldn't he find it in half a day, and now it was not time to rest.
The faces of the little officials were suddenly a little ugly, and they were hesitant, Chu Xian saw that there must be something, so he asked again with a straight face, and this time a small official whispered: "A few adults, I went to the state capital to sue you." ”
Complain?
Chu Xian was stunned, what did he sue? Why did he go to sue?
After thinking about it carefully, Chu Xian understood what was going on, it must have been that he not only agreed to those gentlemen to come to the Academy of Literature to play in the mountains and rivers, but also took the initiative to accompany and play together, which obviously stung the already fragile and sensitive hearts of the officials of the Academy of Literature.
It is conceivable that these literati who read are the most respectful, and the place of the literary academy is not a tourist attraction, so they are not angry and dissatisfied, so they went to the state capital to complain.
Thinking of this, Chu Xian smiled.
What is called admitting death, this is it, these officials of the Academy of Literature are actually not bad people, and some are even better people, but in this world, good people are the most useless.
This is not to blame Chu Xian's extreme thinking, this is a fact.
What is a good person, that is, he thinks that he restricts himself according to what the sages say in the book, and prefers to use this set to restrain others, not to cause trouble, not to hurt others, and to help others, but often, when something happens, he is pulled to take the blame, and he is unlucky, he is this kind of person.
This is especially true for those who only know how to read dead books.
Do they think that when they encounter injustice, they will run to the state capital to file a complaint?
Naive.
Just a little bit, among the people who came to play this time were the three sons of the Assassin Mansion, and those civil officials were afraid that they would not succeed in the complaint, and they would have to suffer some hardships.
Song Ye's person, Chu Xian didn't understand, Shen Ziyi only mentioned it at the wine table, to put it simply, this person has an average character, a small heart, a strong sense of utilitarianism, and wants to please the gentlemen from Jingzhou, but unfortunately Shen Ziyi and they don't look down on him. Song Ye was blocked by those civil officials before, and it is estimated that he is still holding back the fire, and this time he is likely to use the topic to rectify some of the officials of the Literary Academy who ran to complain.
After thinking about it, Chu Xian still shook his head helplessly: "That's it, I have to go for a run, after all, I will be my subordinate in the future, and I can't ignore it." ”
After talking to himself, Chu Xian asked a small official to lead the way and went straight to the state capital.
The place of the state city in Nanjiang Prefecture is called 'Chunjiang City', which means that the four seasons are spring, and the scenery here is indeed good, much stronger than Liangzhou, better than Ancheng and Fengcheng, because the aura is sufficient, so it is much better to practice magic here.
The streets in the city are spotless, and there are flowers in front of the doors and windows of every house.
The state capital has arrived.
Chu Xian understands the rules, although he is a positive seventh grade, but he is only a deputy editor of the Academy of Literature, so he still has to report it. It didn't take long for an official to come out and pick up Chu Xian.
"Lord Chu, please come in, please come in. The official was quite young, a few years older than Chu Xian, and Chu Xian was also very polite: "What do you call this adult?"
The official smiled and said, "Liang Ze, the deacon of the state capital of Jiupin, Lord Chu can just call me by name." ”
Obviously, Chu Xian's seventh grade is two levels higher than the other party, but he is even younger than the other party, and he is also surprised to estimate the other party, and he can't figure out why Chu Xian was promoted so quickly.
After all, not everyone knows about the Fengcheng case, not everyone knows about the invasion of the Liangzhou Demon Clan, and as for the Cave Candle Division, officials below the fifth rank may not even know about the existence of the Cave Candle Division.
In other words, Chu Xian's past experiences are actually little known here.
At least, this little deacon of the ninth rank doesn't know.
But Chu Xian's official position is bigger than him, so he has to be respectful to Chu Xian.
Chu Xian made his intentions clear at this time, and Liang Ze immediately said: "Those officials of the Academy of Literature did come to complain, but none of them saw it, Lord Assassin Shi has so many affairs, and they are all major events, of course I don't have time to see them, as for Lord Changshi, it's the same, I persuaded them, they didn't listen, no matter how they persuaded them, they had to wait, fortunately, Lord Chu, you came." ”
The two walked inside as they spoke, but at this moment, they heard a quarrel coming from the side courtyard, and it was getting more and more intense.
Liang Ze was stunned for a moment, hurriedly walked a few steps into the side courtyard, and saw that inside, two groups of people were arguing, and it could be seen that on one side, that is, the officials of the Academy of Literature were all anxious with red faces and thick necks, and were struggling to refute, and on the other side, there were several villains dressed as house slaves, and on the stone bench behind them, Song Ye was sitting there drinking tea with his legs crossed.
Liang Ze wanted to come forward to ask, but was pulled back by Chu Xian.
"Let's see. Chu Xian said a word, Liang Ze reacted, and nodded hurriedly.
Obviously, the blind can see that there is something wrong with Song Ye in Chunjiang City, who doesn't know? Who doesn't know? That is the third prince of the Assassin's Mansion, the number one gentleman in Chunjiang City, and even officials dare not provoke him.
If you look closely, the ground in this courtyard is full of debris, and a porcelain vase has been broken, and the focus of the dispute between the two sides is also on the broken porcelain vase on the ground.
The civil officials of the civil academy said that they did not break it, and the gang of evil men on the opposite side explained that it was broken by you, and demanded compensation, and the silver taels of compensation were at least accumulated by these sub-civil officials after ten years of not eating or drinking.
Seeing this, Chu Xian shook his head helplessly.
Don't ask, this must be a set set by Song Ye, deliberately touching the porcelain, so that the other party accidentally touches the porcelain bottle, in order to blackmail, to be honest, this technique is indeed a little old, but practical, I didn't see that the civil officials of the literary academy were all angry with red faces and thick necks, shouting wronged.
The most important thing for a reader is reputation.
This face is more important than their lives, it is said that there was once such an incident, a scholar may have been wronged, saying that he stole something from a rich family, but the result was only a suspicion, and there was no real conviction in the case, the scholar was actually angry and died in the court, with death to prove his innocence.
This incident was later written into the book, and it actually became a model of the so-called uprightness of the reader, but Chu Xian was also a reader, but Chu Xian did not agree with this method.
Everything in this world, anything, does not depend on waiting for or relying on others to give, it needs to be fought for by oneself.
Including innocence.
If someone pours dirty water on your death, you shouldn't lament yourself, you shouldn't be angry, you shouldn't prove your innocence with death, in fact, even if you prove your innocence afterwards?
What you should do is to swallow all the pain, anger, and grievances, and prove your innocence with your thoughts, which is what you should do.
What these civil officials of the Literary Academy have done now has made Chu Xian very disappointed, their arguments are not convincing, and they are just a few sentences back and forth, not realizing that this is simply a false accusation.
Looking at the appearance of those civil officials, it is estimated that if they are forced for a while, someone will jump out and hit the wall.
Chu Xian was helpless and sighed, he couldn't ignore this kind of thing, after all, these people were his subordinates, although they only knew how to read dead books, but they still had literary talent and knowledge, and in the future, Chu Xian would edit a hand-me-down work, and he still needed these people to help.
So Chu Xian coughed, attracting the attention of the two gangs.
The two sides stopped arguing, and the civil officials saw Chu Xian with different expressions, but none of them spoke, after all, this time they came to complain, and they were very dissatisfied with Chu Xian. As for the group of villains over there, they don't know Chu Xian, and they are thinking about what this person is doing at the moment.
They don't know Chu Xuan, but Song Ye does.
If it is just a deputy editor of the Academy of Literature, with Song Ye's identity, then he should not give face, he will not give face, but Chu Xian is not an ordinary deputy editor, he and Shen Dashao are both brothers, and he became a seven-grade official at such a young age, maybe he also has a deep background, Song Ye knows the truth of watching people cook, and when he saw Chu Xian at this moment, he smiled slightly, got up and said: "It turns out that Lord Chu is here, a few of you, get out of the way, get out of the way." ”
After speaking, Song Ye came over and was very enthusiastic.
Chu Xian knew what Song Ye was planning, but he still cooperated and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's a trivial matter, they accidentally broke a vase in my collection, and it's not worth much, that is, tens of thousands of taels of silver, but since they plan to, they also have to pay for it. After Song Ye finished speaking, he glanced at a few civil officials over there who were trembling with anger.
"You, you're just talking. ”
"The porcelain vase was not touched by us at all, it was your people who didn't hold it steady, how can you blame us?"
"Yes, besides, what kind of porcelain vase is worth 10,000 taels of silver? ”
"Lord Chu, don't believe his words, we are really wronged. ”
A group of civil officials hurriedly showed their innocence, and these words were naturally said to Chu Xian, Chu Xian was helpless in his heart, and secretly said that these people were really stupid in reading, and they couldn't see this routine.
But that's good, in the future, in the Academy of Letters, it will be a provincial intrigue.
Chu Xian raised his hand to signal them not to speak, and then said to Song Ye: "They are my subordinates, what does Song Sangongzi plan to do with them?"
