The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 565 Xue Shi
The Xue family has two Jinshi, and his eldest son Xue Shiqian also became a Jinshi when he was 21 years old.Since then, the Xue family has been extremely prominent, and no one can surpass it.It's a pity that good times don't last forever. In the 51st year of Dayan, that is, in the 19th year of Huiming, Xue Haozhen and his son colluded with Daxing.

Once it was verified, it was of course the Zhu Jiu Clan. Not to mention that the whole family was copied and beheaded, even the tombs of the ancestors of the Xue family were looted.However, these are naturally not recorded in "Jiaren Shilu".

At that time, Xue Haozhen had just been named Tanhualang by Emperor Jiaren, so there was only one or two sentences in the history books, and Gu Chengyu also saw it from other history books and unofficial histories.

If you want to know too much, you can only read other classics.Even if "Huiming Shilu" has already compiled this matter, it will not be written in much detail.What's more, Gu Chengyu suspects that the compilation of this matter has not yet begun in the memorandum.

However, Gu Chengyu paid so much attention to this passage, but not all because of Xue Haozhen's life.It's because the editor made a mistake here. This person wrote Xue Haozhen's Tang Hualang as a Jinshi. How big of a mistake was this?
There must be no mistakes in the recorded records. Of course, it is another matter if the emperor ordered it.

When Xue Haozhen and his son made such a big mistake, officials did not dare to record it in detail in the later classics, so this part of the information is very difficult to find.But Wenhua Pavilion is not without it, if you don't search the classics carefully, if you make such a mistake, if Gu Chengyu doesn't collate it and someone else finds it out, he will also suffer.

In fact, Gu Chengyu was quite interested in the collusion between the Xue family and his son and Daxing when he saw it at the time. After reading a lot of classics and unofficial histories, he found it suspicious.The witnesses and physical evidence are all available, but Gu Chengyu feels that these are too perfect.Yes, the chain of evidence is so complete that no doubt can be found.

However, those are old things.There were very few books that recorded this incident back then, and Gu Chengyu only read a vague outline.If there are any detailed records, it must be Dali Temple.

Back then, the case was tried by the three divisions. It stands to reason that the Ministry of Punishment and the Supervision Yuan will also have relevant files on file.Gu Chengyu is somewhat interested in such an ambiguous case, but now he is still a little shrimp from the sixth grade, but he can't check the confidential files.

The reason why he was interested was because after Xue's house was ransacked and beheaded, his teacher took over the position of chief assistant, and Xia Qing happened to be the second assistant at that time, and served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.He always felt that this matter had something to do with the two of them, but it was just an intuition.

He shook his head, it's better to deal with the matter in front of him first.He had a headache looking at the history book in his hand, and he didn't know which official compiled it. He was afraid that he would offend someone.However, this is unavoidable. If he fails to collate it, then he will have to bear the blame.

Mark the error here, mark the error, this book is to be re-transcribed.Wait until tomorrow morning, and then report to Zhang Hai.

"Master Gu! This? It's time to release the value!" Gan Dianji saw that Gu Chengyu was still doing proofreading carefully, and hurriedly stepped forward to remind Gu Chengyu enthusiastically.

In fact, he is also on duty tonight, no matter how late Gu Chengyu stays, it will not affect him.However, apart from the people on duty in the Hanlin Academy, they will also be locked up when the time comes.

He also kindly stepped forward to remind him, fearing that Gu Chengyu would miss the time.

Gu Chengyu just finished the collation and found Gan Dianji standing in front of him, looking at him with a flattering smile.Only then did he realize that it should be time for the value to be released.Fortunately, he has already completed the collation at this moment, and the books in Wenhua Pavilion cannot be borrowed back to read, and must be completed in the Hanlin Academy.

If it is not finished yet, Gu Chengyu will definitely be reprimanded by Mr. Zhang tomorrow.

"I haven't realized that it's time to pay off, but I've delayed Gan Dianji's time to eat. Today, I will trouble you to climb up and down to find books for me. When you are free, let's get together."

Gu Chengyu put away all the things he brought, and he will be able to deal with business tomorrow, and he feels a little relieved.

"Master Gu is really disgruntled. Isn't this the job of a subordinate? It's just the time to pay off, and it's not too late. It's not time for dinner yet!" Gan Dianji said to Mr. Gu is always so polite, he feels a little embarrassed.

A low-level official like him is only a low-level official. Mr. Gu is also so polite and doesn't put on airs at all. Gan Dianji's affection for Gu Chengyu doubles.

Gu Chengyu also sighed in his heart, this Gan Dianji is a bit wretched despite his looks, but he is still warm and respectful to him.In the future, he will often come to Wenhua Pavilion to read books, so he must be more polite to others.

"It's getting late today, I'm leaving now, and we'll meet again some other day." Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that Ye Zhiqiu might already be waiting, and he had to hurry to the gate of the palace.

"Then I will send you off respectfully!" Gan Dianji saluted and watched Gu Chengyu leave the Wenhua Pavilion.

Gu Chengyu walked directly towards the outside of the palace gate, and he would bring these books back to the Imperial Academy tomorrow.Thinking of Ye Zhiqiu who might have been waiting, he also felt that this was a little inconvenient.

After all, they must be busy in the future. If they still take a carriage, the other person will have to wait. There is no waste of time, and it will also delay the time for dinner.But Ye Zhiqiu was absolutely unwilling to let the mansion send another carriage to pick him up.

Ming Mo had already looked in several times, but he didn't see his family.According to the past, it should be here now, so he was a little worried.

"My lord!" Seeing Gu Chengyu approaching, he breathed a sigh of relief.Except for delivering food, he couldn't get in, so he could only wait outside.

Ye Zhiqiu also raised the curtain and looked at Gu Chengyu.Today, Gu Chengyu planted a moment later than usual, and he was a little anxious to wait. He didn't know why Gu Chengyu was delayed, and he was going to go back to look for it.

"Why is it so late today? But what's the matter?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at the stack of books in Gu Chengyu's hands, and hurried forward to take them.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's a bit late to check the classics. Didn't I get an errand to collate the memoir yesterday? I have to finish it today, and luckily I have time."

As soon as Gu Chengyu mentioned this, he thought of the preface he gave Zhang Hai yesterday, and he didn't know whether the preface was feasible.Mr. Zhang didn't talk to him about it today, so Gu Chengyu reckoned that he would have to wait two days.

"Have you really finished the collation? You are so fast!" Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help admiring. Jinyu has studied a lot of books, and he was able to finish the collation so quickly because he was familiar with these classics before.

"It took a lot of thought. I've been dazzled by reading these two days." Gu Chengyu didn't lie, he didn't know how many books he searched these two days.Collation is a hard job, and it is not much easier than editing.
