    Chapter 55 Scholarship Anger

    Concubine Zhen¡¯s worries turned out to be true. Zhao Guang and others returned to the Yamen and invited the Eight Saints to come. Al Jing¡¯a proclaimed his holy will and asked for their opinions.

    Lin Gongshu and Zheng Dunjin shook their heads at the same time, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should abide by the law. Zhao Shuangshan, Diao Qingyuan, and Changhong are just greedy. If they do this, they have to kill people to pay for their crimes. Wouldn't it mean that all the officials in the dynasty should be killed?"  If the emperor insists on this, he can simply issue an edict. I dare not hear about it."

    "So," Zhao Guang asked, "What kind of charges can be charged? The emperor's intention is very clear. These people must be punished severely, and the Ministry of Punishments can't just delay the punishment like this?"

    "There is no other way." Lin Gongshu said: "There is no capital crime. If the emperor must kill these people, I will still say the same thing, let the emperor directly issue the decree."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????;  At the end of the conversation, Zhao Guang got tired of it, said goodbye hastily, and dispersed.

    Sushun walked back home in a sedan chair, thinking about it all the way. He also believed that the facts of the case were clear and clear. In any case, Zhao Shuangshan and others were not guilty of capital crimes. According to the Qing law cited by the Ministry of Punishments, these people were dismissed, sent away, and paid bribes.  It's enough to explain to the people of the world, but I don't understand why the emperor is so reluctant. Is there any other reason for this?

    When they arrived at the mansion, they sent someone to find Long Rulin, wanting to ask him if he had any advice. Who knew that Long Rulin was not at home? After asking, he found out that during the day, Weng Tonghe and Chongshi came over to visit.  , the three of them walked hand in hand, but they didn¡¯t know where they went.

    Sushun thought for a while, guessed where a few people were going, and ordered the sedan to be set up: "Go to Houjing Street."

    The sedan was carried to Houjing Street outside the garden. Sure enough, Weng Tonghe and a few others were in a house in the middle of the street. This was the property in Rehe that the emperor had recently awarded to Weng Tonghe and Chongshi. They had just three days ago.  Saw the edict.  Long Rulin first came to congratulate him, and secondly, he also wanted to invite Weng Tonghe to appreciate a treasure.

    The house was the former residence of Xu Bingyi, the third son of a famous minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, known as the Three Xus of Kunshan. The three Xus of Kunshan were the first in the family. The three brothers were named Qianxue, Bingyi and Yuanwen.  The uncle of the three of them is Gu Yanwu, a famous scholar in the country.

    Xu Yuan, the youngest of the three brothers, had the earliest liberal arts title. When he was twenty-six years old in the 16th year of Shunzhi, he became the most eminent in the world and became a bachelor of Wenhua Palace.  However, his reputation is not as good as that of his elder brother Qian Xue.

    Xu Qianxue was the third daughter of Emperor Kangxi in the ninth year of Kangxi¡¯s reign. She was married to Gao Shiqi, who was known as the ¡®Literary Attendant¡¯ of the Holy Ancestor.  At that time, there was a saying that "the treasures from the five directions returned to the East China Sea, and the gold and pearls from all countries paid tribute to the people of Dan".  Among them, Donghai is the county commander of the Xu family; and Danren is the nickname of Gao Shiqi.

    The reputation of the three Xu brothers, the eldest and the third, was not very good. Only Xu Bingyi, who was one subject later than his eldest brother but was also ranked top, even Xu Sanli, the deputy censor of Zuodu who later severely impeached Xu Qianxue, thought that  He said: 'Excellent in both writing and conduct, he is indeed a contemporary great man.  ¡¯

    This time, the property that Weng Tonghe rewarded the emperor was Xu Bingyi's former residence.

    Weng Tonghe followed his followers to Rehe. He originally lived in a property allocated by the imperial court. Who would have thought that his home was attacked by thieves last month, and some of his gold, stone, antiques and famous calligraphy were stolen. Among them was Chunhua Pavilion.  There are ten volumes of posters, including the pavilion posters visited by Dong Xiangguang, the Song version of "Flower Room Collection", etc.  He beat his chest in distress. These things were all accumulated by him through frugality over the years. Many of them were rare and precious books, but were they all made cheap by outsiders?

    Weng Xiancun knew that his son had always liked such things, and he would naturally feel sad if they were stolen, so he asked someone to bring him a letter and four thousand taels of silver from the capital, and asked him to search around Rehe. If he saw something he liked,  You might as well spend money to buy it, or the location of Rehe may not have high-quality items, but it's better than nothing.

    This money was his father's personal money. Weng Tonghe felt grateful for his father and did not dare to spend it. He planned to return the money in full after returning to Luan. He and Chongshi laughed at themselves and said: "After all, he is still an elegant man."  A thief, just look at the things he steals, they are all handicrafts by famous artists, and even if he wants to steal all my savings, he won¡¯t be able to steal them.¡±

    What he said made Chongshi laugh loudly.

    Later, when the emperor found out about this incident, he specially summoned the governor of Rehe, severely reprimanded him, and ordered him to solve the case within three days.  The commander of Rehe did not dare to neglect, and after going down, he worked with the Chahar garrison general to investigate overnight. On the first day of the third day, he finally captured the "elegant thief" who was going to take the calligraphy and painting to the pawn shop to sell the stolen goods, and interrogated him.  I learned next that Weng Tonghe was a very scholarly person, and he always wanted to express his interest when he got a treasure. Over time, this person picked up his habits and knew that his family??Baby, during the day, the houses near my residence were occupied by court officials, and when they wanted to enter the ministry to inspect affairs, I went to his house to steal.

    The treasure was lost and found. Weng Tonghe was overjoyed and thanked Heaven repeatedly in front of the emperor. The emperor was so happy that he said to him: "You have many such treasures in your home, and they are always easy for thieves to covet. If you can get them back this time, next time  You may not have such luck once. But you have to be careful at all times."

    "Yes, the student understands. Today the student will send someone to send these things back to the capital. After the emperor returns to Luan next year, the student will go to the mansion to taste and play with them."

    "This is not good either. A gentleman makes things, not things for their own sake. Inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings, etc., are things that reflect one's temperament. If you are careful to hide your teachings, you will be worried all day long for fear of others stealing them, and you will not even dare to play with them at home.  , wouldn¡¯t it be disappointing such a spiritual thing? It¡¯s inappropriate, it¡¯s inappropriate!¡±

    He only said that it was inappropriate. Weng Tonghe and Chongshi didn't dare to ask what he was going to say. They expected that he would have additional explanations.  Sure enough, the emperor's eyes lit up: "Well, I'll give you Xu Bingyi's old residence on Houjing Street. You use the money your father gave you to buy a few servants. There are people in the house day and night. I guess what are you doing?  Already?"

    "Your Majesty, the student must not dare to accept the reward!" Weng Tonghe lifted his robe and knelt in front of the desk, "The student entered the south study room in white. This time, he was favored by the emperor and was summoned to accompany the emperor.  On the other hand, everyone in the world thinks that the emperor¡¯s countless kindness to the students has exceeded the limit. Today, he is even offering a mansion as a reward, and the students will never dare to accept it! Please take back the order.¡±

    He was really worried about slander and ridicule, and his words were fragmented and could hardly be completed.

    "I have said that a gentleman does not use things for their own sake. It would be a waste to leave an empty house." Seeing Weng Tonghe bumping into each other and not daring to accept the reward, the emperor was a little reluctant and did not want to get angry over such a thing.  , then said: "Well, since you don't want to live there, it doesn't matter. Chongshi,"

    "The slave is here."

    "This house is a gift from me to you two. You and Weng Tonghe live together, and your family members do not come with you. You live with each other, pay together every day, and return home together after the break.  , which can be regarded as being taken care of."

    Chongshi was stunned. Where is there a house for two people to live in?  Just as he was about to refuse for the same reason as Weng Tonghe, the emperor said, "You are the first Manchu champion in our Qing Dynasty. Even if I give you a place to live, I think you can afford it. There is no need to insist."

    Although this decree was a bit unorthodox, after listening to the emperor's words, the two of them knew that there was no room for redemption, so they knelt down and met, receiving the decree to thank them.

    The two grown men were rewarded with a place to live, and the officials accompanying them regarded it as the most interesting thing in the world, and they talked about it behind their backs.

    Chongshi and Sushun were sworn brothers, and Long Rulin was a Qingke in Sushun's mansion. They were both scholars, so they met and fell in love, so they could be considered friends.  However, Long Rulin never changed his attitude as a celebrity, and his words were very mean. He half-jokingly said to Weng Tonghe: "In my opinion, you two are always by the emperor's side, and you work together every day, and you are always by the emperor's side."  , after a long time, with the love of a broken sleeve, you actually openly borrowed the palace rewarded by the emperor and wanted to start a new love nest in Rehe?  ¡¯

    Weng Tonghe didn't like Long Rulin's narrow talk, but he had nothing to say in reply.  At the same time, I felt great regret: If I had known that this would be the case, it would have been better to accept the order directly and thank me. Although I would definitely be taught a lesson by my father, it was still better than being in such embarrassment.

    But in the next few days, Weng Tonghe's mood changed for one thing.  It's funny to say that this thing is a jade seal, which Chongshi invited him to appreciate and evaluate.

    Although Chongshi brought it here, Sushun owns this jade seal.  The origin of the jade seal is another public case¡ª¡ª.

    There was a grain merchant in Rehe who did a lot of business. His surname was You, and his last name had the character for shan.  He has a son and a daughter, who are brothers and sisters; You Shan has an in-law named Wei, named Wei Yu. Wei Yu also has a son and daughter, but they are just siblings.

    The You and Wei families were originally married because the You family was kind to the Wei family in the past, and the latter mostly wanted to repay the favor. The children of the two families are getting older. The eldest son of You Shan has been weak since he was a child, and it is very likely that he will not live forever.  It's just that I have received great kindness from the You family, so how can I regret it?  Therefore, although the eldest daughter of the Wei family shed tears every day, the parents could only use their righteousness and persuasion to make a request to the groom's family to cancel the engagement, but they were unable to do so.

    By the middle of this year, the You family once again sent someone to propose marriage to Miss Wei.  Wei Yu knew that his future son-in-law was ill and bedridden, so he wanted to ask for an extension, but the man said that marrying a new daughter-in-law would have a "happy" effect.  Moreover, the bride's family had heard about the bride's distaste for the groom's frail health, so he deliberately concealed his illness, saying it was not a serious illness.In the best time, you will be able to recover.

    These words deceived Wei Yu and his wife, so they agreed and just waited for the wedding day to send their daughter off to get married.
