    Two touching moments today: first, the four "Pigs Playing with Fire", "Indifferent Hot Water", "Shanshui Caitian" and "Shaoyeu" carried me for the first time and received 10 votes that day; second, everyone  My book friends gave me the joy of getting 40 monthly tickets in the first month!  I love you all!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    As September enters, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, and it¡¯s really hard to bear not wearing autumn clothes.

    In the small courtyard of the Sun family, Sun Shi, the official of the Imperial Academy, who had been recovering from illness for half a month, felt much better after coughing a few mouthfuls of autumn phlegm.  The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and reading a book by the window is a good enjoyment for the elderly.  He needed to re-revise the "Classic Weiyan" he had compiled. This was Sun Shi's collection of what he had learned for decades, and after annotating the "Five Classics", he expressed the sage's Weiyan and righteousness in a fifty-volume work.

    However, the revision was particularly slow today because the old man was very upset.  Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Zhao Junshi and Zhang Ting came to visit their old leaders respectively.  I have been ill for a long time, and it is appropriate for my subordinates to come and see me. They all know that the boss is honest, but if I carry a few kilograms of phlegm-reducing autumn pears, crabs from Jiangning, and some seasonal snacks, it would be false Taoism if I don't accept them.  Sun Shi didn't show up either. He invited two old subordinates to dinner and a few sips of wine.  Naturally, they also talked about a lot of recent developments. Both subordinates made some reports on the situation in the Imperial College from different angles.

    So Sun Shi became unhappy and coded a lot slower.  A little worried.

    "Sir, Governor Cai is here." The old housekeeper came in to report.

    "Oh. Zisi is here? Go and say hello, I'll be out right away." Sun Shi quickly got up, found a pair of trousers to wear, and then hurried to the front yard and central hall, where Cai Qi had been waiting.  The two of them saluted each other, and Sun Shi invited Cai Qi to sit down in the backyard study.

    "The old gentleman has taken good care of himself, and his health has indeed become much stronger. Congratulations!" Cai Qi said with a smile.

    "Haha, Zisi is thinking about me. I have enjoyed a good life recently. I am revising my masterpiece." The two of them talked about Sun Xi's works again, and Cai Qi changed the subject and said, "I'm afraid the old gentleman has not been there for nearly twenty days.  Is he in the Imperial College? Are you so confident about Liang Yutian and don¡¯t ask about everything?"

    "Aren't you thinking about this? The last time you came here, you promised me to go and have a look, but you never went." Sun Shi complained instead.

    Cai Qi was also very sorry: "I've been very busy recently. Last month, the Huazhou River burst its banks, and everyone was working on disaster relief. I finally took a breather, and I just got time to see you today. I was just going to ask, how is the Imperial College doing lately?  "

    Sun Shi sighed and said: "Oh. It's a lot of trouble to say, but these days are just right. Both the supervisor and the chief registrar have come to visit me. When talking about the affairs in the courtyard, I don't know whether to be happy or worried!" Cai Qi's face  He tensed up and said hurriedly: "I would like to hear the details."

    Things are a little confusing. The students in Suixing Hall of the Imperial College have performed well recently. Arriving late and leaving early, making noises and fights have basically not happened. Moreover, I heard that many people like Liang Feng¡¯s class, and I am very happy to hear that.  However, Liang Feng did not assign any coursework, and only asked everyone to study based on their interest. It is best to discuss with each other, or you can publish written opinions and give them to yourself for revision.  It is said that this is a better direction, indicating that the children are quite well-behaved.  But there is another problem. This Suixingtang is not managed by the courtyard. Instead, the students themselves elect two monitors and deputy monitors to take charge of the management.  There are also class rules, including corporal punishment and fines.  Corporal punishment is easy to say, but it just hurts after being spanked.  But there was a problem with fines. The Imperial College would not take the money from the fines, leaving it to squad leader Liu Congguang and deputy squad leader Xue Kui to distribute among themselves.  This is not good.

    This is what Zhao Junshi and Zhang Ting reported to Sun Shi respectively.  As far as Sun Shi can judge, the authenticity is very high.  Because although the two people did not appear at the same time, what they said could corroborate each other, with almost no discrepancies.

    Cai Qi was a little confused after hearing this: "What is the old gentleman worried about?"

    "Normally, it is a good thing that the students are making progress. However, the foundation of Liang Yutian's teachings is not solid, and these young people are allowed to have wild thoughts and misunderstand the saints. What should I do if they go astray? Also, this autonomy, I also  I have never heard of it. Only two people can distribute the fines privately. Isn¡¯t this cultivating corrupt officials? Alas, with such a style of study, they will all work for the court from now on. I¡¯m afraid something will happen if you do this!¡±

    Cai Qi then realized that it was the same thing when he thought about it. How could he let the students do whatever they wanted?  "I think Liang Yutian is the one who did it!" Cai Qi was a little angry: "These students were specially trained by the imperial court, and they are all the children of officials. Such distorted education will not only harm the family tradition, but also the family tradition. In the future, if our court  If it is used, won't the world be in chaos? No, I will write a letter immediately to impeach Liang Feng!"

    "Um, wait a minute, I'm not busy with this. What do you mean, I want you to go and see the situation first. If it's really a big disaster, it won't be too late to impeach you. It should be noted that Liang Yutian, together with Wang Xianggong and other officials,  That, don't be reckless!" Sun Xi fellBe cautious and quickly advise.

    Cai Qi exhaled slowly: "Then how should I observe?"

    "Haha, I've had an idea for a long time. How about I ask you to be an Imperial College student and tell me directly?" Sun Shi finally said his plan.  It is said that Cai Daxia was the first Jinshi in the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, and passed the first place. He successively served as Zhizhigao, Hanlin bachelor, and admonishment doctor.  His knowledge and character are outstanding, otherwise Lao Sun would not be so affectionate with him.  With this status, qualifications, knowledge and character, any one of them is more than enough to speak directly to the Imperial College!

    Cai Qi was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Originally, the official affairs are complicated, and I couldn't handle it. But since the old gentleman thinks so highly of me, I can just accept it if I can't!"

    Sun Shi was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, then I will submit the copy to the court now!"

    After saying three times, five divided by two, Sun Shi wrote a memorial and handed it to Zhao Zhen, strongly recommending Cai Qi as a highly educated official with a good character. Recently, it has been difficult to coordinate the time of the Imperial Academy's direct speeches. Only Liang Feng, the same judge,  It was very difficult to attend class.  Please ask Cai Qi to speak directly to relieve the pressure, and at the same time let the students develop some real skills.

    Zhao Zhen was of course particularly concerned about this matter because his good friend worked there.  As soon as I saw the memorial came up, I wanted to call Liang Feng to discuss it immediately.  Then I thought: "Haha, this is a good thing to share the pressure with him and find helpers. There is no need to discuss it. Just get it right. Isn't it just an extra salary? I can afford it!" It was approved easily.

    On the tenth day of September (not Teacher¡¯s Day), Cai Qi, the minister of the imperial censor and miscellaneous affairs officer, led the Imperial Academy to directly give the title and he started to speak as soon as he took office.  Liang Feng had already received Cai Qi's appointment documents and prepared a welcome ceremony. The main door of the Imperial College was opened wide, and Liang Feng led his subordinate officers to come out to welcome him in person.  Cai Qixian went in to pay homage to the Holy Master. Liang Feng summoned all the disciples in Suixing Hall to bow and salute, and then he went into the Gongshi Hall to talk alone.

    "The governor came to speak directly to the students, and the Imperial College is so splendid that it is extremely honorable!" Liang Feng was young and considered a low-ranking official, so of course he had to be courteous and considerate.

    "The co-convict has been overrated. The court judge is the most kind to me. He talks about the hard work of the co-convict in the court, which makes me stagger a little. Alas, I have been working hard on the case papers these years, and I have thrown away everything I have learned. I am reluctant to do so.  That's all!" Cai Qi said politely, but his face looked very proud.  This kid is just a top pick, but he is the top pick among his seniors. It feels so comfortable.

    Liang Feng also flattered the governor a few times, saying that the governor was knowledgeable, a role model for his predecessors, and someone who looked up to the mountains and so on.  Then he turned to the main topic: "The courtyard is a little dilapidated. There are only more than 30 students from Suixing Hall left. And to be honest with the governor, the good ones and the bad ones are mixed, which is quite difficult. I wanted to teach them separately, but I couldn't do it because of the shortage of people. I had no choice but to squeeze in."  They are all in a pile. Fortunately, I know that the incident has come to an end, and I can feel some relief. Please forgive me, sir, and maintain it for the time being, and then slowly change things around after I get off the job in two days."

    Cai Qi smiled generously and said: "Don't be so polite. I'm just teaching a few boys to read. I came here in my spare time. Anyway, I'm educating talents for the country. How can I talk so much? Okay, I'll go back today and I'll be there on time tomorrow morning.  Let's get started." When the two began to talk, Cai Qi was much more generous, while Liang Feng was a bit hesitant.  At that moment, the two agreed that Cai Qi would teach "The Book of Songs" and "The Rites of Zhou" first, and then adjust the courses after a while.

    The next day, Cai Qi deliberately took off his official uniform and wore only civilian clothes and a Confucian bandana. He entered the Imperial Academy like a eminent monk.  Liang Feng specially accompanied him to Suixingtang. In fact, no introduction was needed, most of the classmates in the class knew this uncle.  He used to be a good guy, but recently because he became the governor, he has become a bad mouth in the court. The news has spread to every family, and every family has warned him not to offend this guy, lest he return to his work and pick up the weapon of criticism.  Shooting everywhere.

    Liang Feng stepped back and Cai Qi sat upright and glanced around without anger or authority. As expected, everyone was as silent as a cicada.  Lao Cai nodded and said: "Well, today we will start talking about the Book of Songs. The Book of Songs says, 'I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao.' All students will be pillars of talent in the future. You must study hard and do not waste your time."  Disappoint the imperial court's expectations!" After a few words, he began to speak.

    Cai Qi was good at writing articles, but his talk was much worse than that of Liang Feng, a teacher of famous talk. He was quite decent in class. How could those small yamen who were used to Liang Feng's clouds and mountains endure such boring lectures?  Manuscript?  It's just that my father at home gave me a death order, so I had to hold back my drowsiness and risk my life to pretend to be devoted.

    ¡°But Governor Cai had no consciousness and actually dragged him to court. The officials complained endlessly!

    But at any rate, the day has passed.

    After Cai Qi finished the class, he silently reflected on the expressions of the students.  I'm a little depressed. I heard that these yamen have been very motivated to study recently, but it doesn't seem to be the case at all. They seem to be listening to reports at a conference, dozing off with their eyes open, and instinctively applauding at critical moments.

    "Could it be that I didn't speak well?" Cai Qi reflected again.

    Actually, there is another person who is also reflecting,Today, when Xin Zhi came to class, his eyes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, his expression was like a blade.  Immediately, his heart was knocked.

    This comrade is Xue Pan!

    He knew that this man was the master who was responsible for supervising the officials. Although he was only in class, who knows if he would come to supervise the class staff of Sui Xing Hall or something like that?  Judging from today's reactions, this is very possible.  So will he have trouble with himself?  (To be continued)
