Great Ye Empress

Chapter 389 Admiration
"When people were sent from above, they didn't plan to save Senior Guo a way to survive! Senior Guo actually had a hunch in his heart..." Tian Pingan looked up at Xie Yunchu, who was sitting at the lacquer table, thinking, "Senior Guo said, Now that the imperial court is turbid and corrupt officials are rampant, even scholars who have the heart to serve the country and protect the people, if they want to survive, have to be gradually infected by the unpleasant stench of this turbid world."

"The root of it is that... although there are national laws, the favored parties in the imperial court are the most powerful, and whoever has favors and connections, as long as the party relationship and favors are strong enough, even if they violate the law, they can be safe, but the law is the law, Love is love, and the boundaries between the two should be like good and evil, good is good, and evil is evil, and it cannot be blurred beyond the boundary! If it is blurred, what is the use of the law?"

Xie Yunchu's eyes moved slightly, and the fine flames flickered in her black pupils.

"People in the market still know that good and evil are incompatible, so why do the court always use the word love to ignore the country's laws?" Tian Ping'an sighed, "So, Senior Guo said that he knew the law and violated the law, and he should be punished if he was guilty. I have lived up to the teachings of the mountain chief, and I have not been able to resist this turbid current. I only hope that those who come later will take him as a warning, and I hope that I will not be merciless...and make an iron-faced judgment."

"Senior Guo hopes even more that his death... can make a splash in the courtroom, so that the important officials and emperors of the court can perceive and pity the pure hearts of us scholars, and clean up the career of the latecomers... A little bit of turbidity, let them have a cleaner career... to realize their bloody ambition for the country and the people."

After listening to Tian Ping'an, Xie Yunchu didn't speak for a long time...

She thought of the late Censor Niu.

Thinking of what Ji Jingci once said... the aspirations and ambitions of scholars.

Xie Yunchu didn't know if he was too cold-hearted, or because he died once... So these things are very light.

In her heart, Aci is important, her mother, eldest sister and younger sister are important, and those who are kind to her are important.

Besides... Aci once took her to the disaster-stricken place, seeing those mothers who were not afraid of life and death for their children, and children whose mothers dared to die, she was moved at that time and decided to fight for these people, also because... Feel the same.

But these scholar-bureaucrats brought shock to Xie Yunchu... again and again.

A Niu Yushi set an example for the name behind the scholar, and a Guo Zidu sacrificed himself into the mire for the common people.

Their perseverance and forbearance, they used their lives to sacrifice their lives for the same world, to compete with the chaotic court situation, to safeguard the aspirations and aspirations of scholars in the world with their own lives and flesh and blood, and to ask their successors not to forget the word "Qingming".

But Xie Yunchu felt that their frank and straightforward way of sharing life with each other was humiliated to the extreme by being controlled by others.

They are not seeking fame by death, they are just trying to gain fame...

They just humbly handed their lives over to the imperial court, with no expectations of life and death, just to clear the way for the latecomers with blood and keep the flames in their hearts unceasing.

She doesn't understand...

I don't understand whether they are helpless last blog, or are they unwilling to give up their arrogance and dignity as literati. Keep the original intention.

Just as Tian Ping'an said just now, good is good and evil is evil, and the scholar-official's heart is black and white!

But Xie Yunchu felt that between black and white, there was no way to go...

Perhaps, she is not a pure scholar, nor does she have the arrogance and ambition as they are.

Their purity and bravery, she admired, but could not approve.

"Master Xie..." Tian Ping'an called out to Xie Yunchu softly, his eyes full of sadness and desolation, "Why is this court and world like this? Those who die for the country die for the people..."

What kind of court is this, what kind of world is this?
Tian Ping'an still remembered what Guo Zidu told him before his death. He didn't want Tian Ping'an to be seized and killed together with him because he took care of his feelings with Yunshan Academy and remembered his old feelings for him.

He doesn't want Tian Ping's softheartedness and friendship, but only Tian Ping's decisiveness.

The next day, Guo Zidu died...

This was Guo Zidu's last plan before his death. He pleaded guilty to the law... If he couldn't copy the silver taels, the court asked people to come down to investigate.

This matter must always be mentioned in the courtroom.

Xie Yunchu looked at Tian Ping'an for a while without speaking, only took out a purse from his sleeve and put it on the table...

"Sir!" Tian Ping'an stood up in shock.

Xie Yunchu said, "Before I came, my grandfather asked me to bring you some things. Because I was in a hurry to leave after taking the order, I really couldn't help bring it here. My grandfather also felt that it would be better to send money than to bring things here. What are you missing? You can do it too."

"No, no!" Tian Ping'an refused, "The mountain chief is already very kind to me, how can I let the mountain chief spend more money!"

"This is my grandfather's intention. If Senior Tian wants to refuse, please return the purse in person after seeing my grandfather." Xie Yunchu said, getting up and saying goodbye.

Seeing that Xie Yunchu was about to leave, Tian Ping'an said, "That's right! There is also a ledger, which is in the hands of Ning Tongjing. Although Ning Tongjing did not participate in this matter, he knows all about it."

Xie Yunchu nodded: "Okay, I know you can rest assured!"

Tian Ping'an sent Xie Yunchu to the door, watched Xie Yunchu get on the carriage and left, turned around and turned back, and when he came back, he saw that Qi had taken out the money in his purse and put it on the table, looked at him with radiant eyes and said, "You finally got enlightened. So much money..."

"You put it down!" Tian Ping'an was instantly annoyed.

"What are you shouting, you're afraid that I won't swallow your money!" Seeing that Tian Ping'an, who has always been good-natured, was angry, Qi Shi only thought that Tian Ping'an was keeping money, fearing that she would be greedy, and immediately threw the handkerchief away with red eyes.

Xie Yun returned to the inn in the first night, and Yu Qianchao and Xie Yunwang, who had been drinking alcohol, also returned.

Xie Yunwang came back pretending to be drunk, washed his face and changed his clothes, then went to see Xie Yunchu together with Yu Qianchao, and took out the "filial piety" stuffed by the local officials in the wine market today.

"We accept everything as soon as we should, it will be the evidence of their bribery in the future!" Xie Yunwang pointed at the silver note on the table and said, "I and Yu Yushi testify to each other, and I also took back the 'filial piety' for you. , I am your clan brother, it is logical to accept it for you."

"Yeah! When we accept these, they can relax their vigilance, so it is easier for us to check." Yu Qianchao took a sip of hot tea to sober up.

Yuanbao served tea to Xie Yunwang and Yu Qianchao, and then retreated to the door holding the black lacquer square plate.

"I have already figured out the situation." Xie Yunchu said slowly, "I went to the mansion of Mr. Tian Tian..."

Xie Yunchu told Xie Yunwang and Yu Qianchao what he learned from Tian Ping'an.
