Chapter six hundred and ninety-ninth fellow villagers

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. According to Xiaoshandong, the city became more and more "lively", but the palace became more and more "lucky". The memorials of those angry officials or the public statements on the titles were like stones sinking to the sea, and the emperor did not summon the six ministers, ministers and nine ministers to meet.

Han Xiufeng did not go to the summer palace again, nor did he submit a memorial. Today he didn't even go to the schoolyard because the registered censor Ji Yunfei actually accompanied Zhuo Shi, the Minister of War, to Nanyuan.

At first, I saw them wearing a thick cloth gown and only brought one or two family members. I really thought they thought the city was too noisy and wanted to come out to relax. But after chatting for a few words, I found that it was not. Thinking that they were coming for their fellow villagers, Han Xiufeng simply asked Zhuzi to invite Ren He over and accompany the two of them who came to Nanyuan for a rare time, talking about the affairs of several fellow villagers while walking.

"Jiang Guolin sent his family to send a letter saying that the civil and military officials in all yamen in Guangzhou were like puppets, and they had to listen to foreigners regardless of big or small matters. Even foreign soldiers patrolling the streets in alleys. He is struggling now and cannot sleep at night. He has long been tempted to retreat, but at this critical moment, he dared not take the lead and complaints, so he would like to ask Brother Yunmu and brother, you can help you get an idea."

Jiang Guolin is from Dazhu, Sichuan. He is not only a fellow villager in Sichuan, but also in the same year as Duan Dazhang. He was both a Jinshi at Daoguang No. 18 Middle School. He served as the Shuntian Provincial Examination Palace, served as the chief examiner of Jiangnan, a co-education of the National History Museum, and a Shujishi. He was sent to Hubei to work as a scholar and political official, and later served as an official in Guangdong, so Han Xiufeng had never seen him, and would not have any friendship.

Thinking that when Guangzhou was captured by foreigners, Jiang Guolin was appointed as the governor of Guangdong, and was caught by foreigners like Guangdong Governor Bai Gui, and now he has become a puppet of foreigners. Han Xiufeng sighed secretly and stopped and asked, "Brother Yunmu, what do you think about this?"

Zhuo Wei was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "As a border official, he is responsible for the territory. Jiang Guolin's accident is ahead and the future is miserable. The ancients said, 'Doing is small, but losing integrity is big.' I thought it would be good if he could escape without a few days."

It is rare that a fellow villager could be the governor. Ji Yunfei really didn't want to see Jiang Guolin lose his official position or even be investigated. He couldn't help but say, "Ambition, Brother Yunmu, as far as I know, Jiang Guolin's official reputation in Guangdong is good. When he was in charge of Qiong, he respected the wise and the poor, rewarded farming and weaving, warned of laziness, advocated good neighbors among relatives and friends, changed the disputes, and established school buildings to make polite manners. He even went to Qiongtai Academy to give lectures, and raised funds to encourage hard-working teachers and students. Therefore, Qiongzhou's enthusiasm for learning is growing.

During the Censorate, he was slacking off his own documents every day, and he read them carefully. He knew that the salt administration of Guangdong and Guangxi would offend people if he was in a state of corruption and rectification, but he still strictly anti-smuggling, pursuing corruption and promoting integrity, and ordered his subordinates to follow the orders. He strictly prohibited shirking and procrastinating, so that the salt farm in Guangdong and Guangxi could be rectified!"

"Brother Bowen, I believe what you said, but what's the use of me? Now that things have come to this, I can only blame him for his bad luck and meeting foreigners. Not to mention him as the governor, even Bai Gui is no longer the governor of Guangdong in the emperor's heart. If he hadn't been worried about angering foreigners, the court would have dismissed him from his post."

Han Xiufeng paused, thought about it and smiled bitterly, "Brother Bowen, today is different from the past. In the past, everyone said, "Being a good official is happy", because it is not difficult to be a good official. As you said just now, after taking office, respecting the wise and humble, rewarding farming and weaving, promoting good neighborhoods with relatives and friends, changing disputes, promoting education, and donating more or less some salary to support students or building bridges and paving roads, that is a good official. Several umbrellas for tens of thousands of people will definitely be indispensable when you step down.

But now, some places are in troubled by long hair, some places are in troubled by Nian bandits, some places are in troubled by sect bandits, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Liangjiang, Zhili and Heilongjiang not only have bandits and bandits in rebellion, but also have to deal with foreigners from Britain, Buddha, Mi, Russia and other countries. It is not that easy to become a Taiping official!"

Zhuo Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Bowen, Zhixing's words are reasonable. Now this official is becoming more and more difficult to do."

Ren He, who had been carefully accompanying him, suddenly realized that Han Xiufeng's words were for Ji Yunfei, but they might also be for him. After all, compared to Ji Yunfei, Ren He was more obsessed with his career.

Just as he was thinking about his intention to be an official, what should he do when he met Changmao, and what should he do when he met a foreigner, Han Xiufeng suddenly changed his mind and pointed to the broken temple in front of him and said, "Two, this is the most noble Deshou Temple among all the royal Taoist temples in Nanyuan."

"The most noble?" Seeing that Deshou Temple was broken like this, Zhuo Shi was skeptical.

"The most noble!" Han Xiufeng nodded slightly and introduced with emotion: "This Deshou Temple was built together when Shunzhi repaired the old palace. It is said that it has a lot to do with Shunzhi's obsession with Buddhism. Whether this matter is true or false is not the case. But here, Shunzhi and Kangxi have summoned the fifth and sixth Panchen Lama of Tibet, which is a grand event for the country."

When Han Xiufeng heard that Mr. Shunzhi and Mr. Kangxi had summoned the fifth and sixth Panchen Lama from Tibet here, Zhuo Wei suddenly had the word "expanding territory" in his mind. Thinking of the four barbarians impressed him, the Qing Dynasty, which was coming to the court for all countries, was now bullied by a group of Western barbarians. Zhuo Wei couldn't help but murmur: "It's really noble, it's really noble!"

Ji Yunfei is just a registered censor. Compared to major affairs of the country, he cares more about his fellow countrymen. He said with a bitter face: "Ambition, I have nothing to say about you and I will treat you during my lifetime. Now he is not ignorant of his death, but he dies with his eyes open. You and I cannot sit idly by."

Han Xiufeng knew very well that he was saying this for no reason, but because Huang Zhongyin's son Huang Wanqian rushed from his hometown to the capital to sue the emperor!

Thinking of the words Zhuzi and Yu Tiesuo had said before, Han Xiufeng frowned and said, "Huang Wanqian is too impatient. I didn't have time to see him a few days ago, but this does not mean that I, Han Xiufeng, don't care about his father's business."

Ren He couldn't help asking: "Sir, what did Huang Wanqian do?"

"He not only went to the Censorate to beat drums and complained about the injustice, but also sued the governor of Guangxi Lao Chongguang to sit down and resist and resist the support. When the thief fled to Wuzhou, he was helpless. He claimed that the crimes listed by Lao Chongguang were all based on the one-sided remarks of Wuzhou's prefect Chen Ruizhi, and his father was actually false. He also heard that although the Guangxi academician Shen Bingyuan, who had been favored, died at the hands of the thief, he was not a sacrifice for his country. He was greedy for life and feared death and cut his hair into Xizhu Temple, and was killed by the thief."

"It's fine if he sued Lao Chongguang, why should he bring Shen Bingyuan with him?"
