Chapter 112: Hope
Sun Chengzong blew Huang Liji's face.
The carriage was bumpy.
Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope, so Huang Liji pressed the window frame tightly, fearing that he would experience the flight again.
He cursed and said that he must punish the words he must be severely punished.
However, Sun Chengzong sat down blankly.
Seeing that Sun Chengzong did not agree with him, Huang Liji was a little annoyed and shouted angrily: "Mr. Sun is watching the show?"
Sun Chengzong shook his head.
"So why is this happening, don't you think these people are hateful?"
Sun Chengzong said lightly: "It's okay."
"Fortunately, what does it mean?" Huang Liji asked and said angrily: "These people...they...rebellious!"
Sun Chengzong said calmly: "No, they are not ruthless."
Huang Liji immediately furious and said furiously: "What, what are you saying? It's not you who gets beaten, but you who suffers such a great humiliation."
Sun Chengzong said calmly: "They just treat you as an ordinary citizen. If they knew you were a scholar Huang in the court, it would be too late to cling to him."
Huang Liji was stunned for a moment.
Then Sun Chengzong shook his head and looked at Huang Liji with a wry smile: "Do you think this is a traitor? Do you think this is abominable? Do you think these bullying behaviors are even a death sentence? Do you think that Tianqiaofang has already suffered a lot, right?"
Huang Liji couldn't help but frown and said, "What do you mean?"
A deep sadness flashed across Sun Chengzong's face: "Please remember that this is the capital, the emperor's feet, and the place where there are still kings and laws. Have you been to Liaodong? How many years have you not returned home? Have you ever resigned from an official position?"
This series of questions made Huang Liji even more embarrassed.
Sun Chengzong continued bluntly: "The world outside the capital is even more unjust and even more terrifying. In Liaodong, white bones are exposed in the wild. In my hometown of Gaoyang, there are refugees and bandits everywhere. Before they became bandits, someone bullied them like this. Their parents starved to death, their wives and children starved to death, and they raised their swords to become bandits. When they became bandits, they attacked the market, burned, killed, and robbed people, and regarded people as grass. Once a bandit disaster, the whole village and the people in the whole village were gone. In order to collect Jianshu, three additional wages were paid, and the taxes became heavier and heavier, hundreds of thousands of people became hungry. But the taxes were still added to them! Those scholars built high walls, and the barn was full of food, and they turned a blind eye to things outside the window, and were devoted to reading the books of sages. I'll ask you... Compared to those, what is this?"
Huang Liji knew that Sun Chengzong could not tell lies, so he unnaturally showed shame, so he simply lowered his head and said nothing.
After a long time, he said, "Mr. Sun..."
"Um?"
Huang Liji lowered his voice and said, "You must not show what happened today. I am the chief assistant and the country's major plan. How can I let people know that the chief assistant is humiliated? This is not good for the country, and it will make the military, civilians and the people have no awe of the court, and will surely bring endless disasters."
Sun Chengzong nodded.
Silence fell into the carriage again.

Tianqiaofang inspector.
Inspection inspector Yang Xian was extremely anxious. Now the heavy rain is in disaster, and I don’t know what the situation is going on outside.
In fact, he should be calm, after all... the news has been revealed now, and he will be reinstated soon. Isn't it just for this to come to Zhao Ji, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Personnel's Merits and Examination Department of the Qing Office?
There are rumors now that he may even take over the position of bachelor's degree. He is also a bachelor's degree, and then he adds a bachelor's degree, which is completely different.
The Hanlin Academy has a Grand Secretary, a Bachelor of Internal Affairs and a Bachelor of Internal Affairs. These three people are almost the core of the Hanlin Academy. The lower class of attendants, attendants, editors, etc. are just middle and lower classes.
If you can become a bachelor's degree at this age, you will definitely be one of the six ministries in the future.
Thinking of this, Yang Xian felt a lot of relief. Looking up to him for many years, but he expected that he would be blessed in disguise.
But this heavy rain made him feel anxious. He had sent several waves of personnel out in a row.
These servants are pitiful. Such heavy rainstorms still have to walk around in the mud and water.
At this time, a civil servant came in: "Inspector..."
"What's wrong?" Yang Xian asked excitedly: "What's the difficulty with Bai Juren?"
"I have already gone to investigate. Bai Ju's house has a high terrain and there is no obstacle. When he learned that the inspector was so concerned, he was so grateful that he wrote a poem and asked the students to send it."
Yang Xian was immediately happy and said, "Take me and have a look."
So he took a piece of paper with ink marks on it. He looked closely and couldn't help but stroke his beard and said, "Haha... it's too much, it's too much, loves the people as a son, and is the duty of his parents and officials. How can he be called the name of the Ming Dynasty's father? I'm still far away!"
The civil servant said again: "It's because Li Xiucai's family has some difficulties, but he has sent someone to use a boat to send his family, his parents, wife and children to a nearby inn with a high terrain. He was also grateful to the inspector, saying that inspector Yang had the style of an ancient wise minister."
Yang Xian laughed and kept shaking her head, saying that she did not dare to compare with those wise people.
The clerk said: "The students have also been there at Sijiao Pavilion. There are a few scholars there who are idle and sitting there. They are all talking. After the heavy rain, when inspector Yang is going to the Hanlin Academy, they will prepare the umbrella of the people and send him to inspector Yang, saying that he is... He is very kind and kind, and he cannot repay him, but only expresses his wishes to the people."
Yang Xian held her hands behind her back, feeling hot, but she couldn't hide her joy and said, "As an official, you should benefit the people. This is a definite meaning. It's a pity that I have only been here for two months and am leaving. I originally wanted to study a yard here so that everyone can benefit from teaching."
As he said that, he sighed infinitely: "But when I return to Hanlin, I will report to Your Majesty to make this happen. Okay, you go down."
The clerk nodded and silently retreated.
Yang Xian couldn't help but feel excited, looking at the heavy rain outside the hall window, her chest was undulating, and her heart became more and more eager.
…………
At this time, Mo was sitting in the carriage with Emperor Apocalypse, and he was extremely worried deep down.
Not only did he feel worried and angry because of what happened in Tianqiaofang, the heart-wrenching cry and sarcasm and arrogance.
There are also concerns about Zhang Jingyi.
Tianqiaofang is like this. I heard that Qingpingfang is even worse. The last time I went to Zhang’s house, there were... Qingpingfang’s inspection department and the hundred-household office, where the terrain was very low and lying. Such a situation would not be as chaotic as it would be.
He leaned against the soft pad in the car, and the scenes that had just happened appeared in his mind one by one, and they couldn't get rid of it. He felt so upset and uncomfortable.
However... the more you go, the less puddles appear.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, and the carriages and horses have lost the previous bumps.
Emperor Tianqi was suspicious and opened the curtain of the car. He thought the wind and rain had passed, but he didn't know that when the curtain opened, a strong wind blew in with the rain curtain, and there was still a blurry world outside.
So he couldn't help but ask loudly to the outside world: "Where is this?"
"Your Majesty, I'm here in Qingpingfang."
Emperor Aoki continued to look out the window.
I saw that there was not much water on the ground outside...
Even the road is flat and there is no mud.
Of course, this kind of flatness and tidyness cannot be compared with later generations, and it can only be compared with other places in the capital.
In the storm, even Emperor Aoki saw people.
But I saw a group of people in soap clothes calling out in the wind and rain, and actually going to support the tilted tree beside the road.
What these people said can't be heard clearly in the wind and rain.
But these people shrank their heads and looked very serious, as if this tree was their lives.
Emperor Tianqi said in surprise: "Is this Qingpingfang? Stop, stop quickly..."
As soon as the carriage stopped, Emperor Tianqi went out in the rain again.
The boots are not as bad as they were just now.
The coachman really wanted to call Your Majesty to stop making trouble and find a place to shelter from the rain.
But I can't stop calling.
Emperor Tianqi had already walked to the side of the road in the face of the wind and rain. He saw four or five people busy holding the trees, and some people were building soil and stones under the trees.
Emperor Aoki was a little confused.
One of them looked up and saw Emperor Aoki and said, "Don't stand here, don't stand here, find a place to shelter from the rain."
Emperor Aoki let the heavy rainstorm drift him.
At this time, Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong had to chase after him.
Emperor Aoki continued to look at the funny looks of these people curiously, but saw that these people were still trying hard to protect the trees.
He thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, and finally asked, "What are you doing?"
"Tree, tree..." One of them shouted: "If this tree falls today, it will probably not be able to survive if it is released."
Emperor Aoki said in confusion: "What does it have to do with you if the tree dies?"
"I want to evaluate the best."
“Evaluation…”
The man began to curse: "The head of Liu Lane in Wuma Lane is not a human being. In order to evaluate the award, he went crazy. He actually came out to protect trees in such weather."
Emperor Aoki is like a curious baby: "Which lane leader is forcing you here..."
"Damn it, damn it." The man scolded: "He is the alley chief, I am the street chief. How could he touch me? It's just that this man surnamed Liu. In order to evaluate the award, he came out to protect the tree at this time and asked me to ask me to do? If I let the tree die, the evaluation at the end of the month will definitely be gone. I, Mr. Wang, can't afford to lose this person..."
Emperor Aoki frowned, but still didn't understand.
Of course he couldn't understand that the street managers were already out of shape. One or two of the "struggle" mentioned in later generations, and others could not be idle. Everyone was shameless, and no one wanted to be on the blacklist, and then there was no bonus.
"You guys quickly find a place to shelter from the rain. Walk forward. There is a tea shop. That tea shop. We have packed it in the street today. We are here to shelter from the rain. Don't watch it here..."
After the street leader roared, he followed the people and fought with the wind and rain again.
