Powerful

Chapter 84
It was only later that Gu Chong'an found out that this old man was a servant of Zhou Chong, a great Confucian in Jinzhou, and that he knew so much and thought so deeply was due to Zhou Chong's influence.

After leaving that alley, Gu Chong'an's flushed face slowly returned to normal.Occasionally, there is a breeze blowing, which makes him feel cool, and at the same time, it also gradually clears his mind.

He blushed because he was ashamed.Before coming to Jinju, he wanted to complete the characters of the Secretary Province as soon as possible, enrich the collection of books in the Secretary Province, and serve as a king; , with a heavy heart...

He thought a lot, but he didn't think about how the secretary's provincial collection would benefit the people, but he didn't think about what the secretary's provincial officials could do for the people.As a secretary, he is in charge of teaching classics and books, what can he do for the people?
Gu Chong'an thought about why those poor children are not humble anymore, because they are touching books and touching the meridian of knowing Li Mingli.The reason why books and classics are preserved is not just for the use of the king, but its purest and most important function is to guide people to reason.However, has the Secretary-General achieved this?not at all.

It is indeed a meritorious deed that the secretary province has collected folk songs, recorded current customs, and enriched the collection of books over the years, but for the people of Dading, have they received these merits and blessings?not at all.
What Gu Chongan saw here in Jinzhou is not there.
The children of ordinary people stop at county schools and state schools. Those who master more and more knowledge are those with power, power and wealth. They only account for a very small part of the people of Dayong.Most of them are people who want to study but have nowhere to go, just like those children who study in the alley.

Zheng Shiyong managed the Taiyuan Mansion well. Here in Jinzhou, ordinary people still have nowhere to go to school. So what about the other eight prefectures in Dading?

The more Gu Chong'an thought about this, the heavier his steps became.Before coming to Jinzhou, he had never thought about these things.

In the next few days, people's knowledge of reason, difficulties in official studies, and the use of literature and Taoism flashed in his mind, making him absent-minded in dealing with the matter of collecting folk songs.It wasn't until Ge Hong kindly asked him if something happened, that Gu Chong'an came back to his senses a little bit.

"I'm fine, my lord, please don't worry." Gu Chong'an said.

It was hard to explain to others what he was thinking about, and he only had a hazy idea, but he couldn't grasp it, let alone what to say to Ge Hong.

"As long as it's okay, Jinzhou seems to be hotter than Jingzhao. We can return to Jingzhao in a few days, so be patient." Ge Hong said with a smile.He thought that Gu Chong'an was listless these days because he couldn't stand the environment in Jinzhou.

Gu Zhong An Nuonuo said yes, thanked Ge Hong for his thoughtfulness, he is really a kind superior.

In fact, compared to the torment of worry in my heart, the heat I feel in my body is really nothing.
Gu Chong'an always felt that there should be a way to do what he was thinking about.There should be a way for the common people to benefit from the books and scriptures, and there should be a way for ordinary people to learn a clear way, but what this way is, he always feels hazy in his mind and can't grasp it for a while.
In the evening of this day, Gu Chong'an came to that alley again.This time, he didn't see the old man patiently teaching anything there, but only saw the pitiful children, some of them curled up on the bamboo chairs, and some of them were crying.

What's going on here?
When Gu Chong'an asked this question, several children stood up immediately, and they moved closer together, looking at Gu Chong'an nervously, there was obvious fear in this nervousness, as if they were worried about what Gu Chong'an would do to them.

The performance of these children is very different from what they saw last time.Suddenly changed, something must have happened.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhong'an softened his tone and asked with a smile: "I know the old man well, otherwise I wouldn't have come to him. Where did he go?"
Gu Chong'an's appearance is not as handsome as Gu Chongting's, and he doesn't have Gu Zhan's gentle and kind eyebrows that occasionally show majesty. He is dignified and honest, giving people a sense of stability and making people trustworthy.

Sure enough, the little boy in charge looked at Gu Chong'an cautiously for a while, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Grandpa Zhou is not here, he was taken away by the yamen!"

As soon as the little boy finished speaking, the children next to him couldn't bear it any longer. Their eyes were all red, and one of the youngest cried loudly, with snot running down his nose.

"Abducted! Grandpa Zhou was taken away..." "When will Grandpa come back..." Miserable cries echoed, Gu Chong'an had no son, he never knew boys' tears, and would say just come.

But now is not the time to talk about these things, Gu Zhongan comforted these children patiently, and pieced together the whole story from their mouths.After knowing what happened, Gu Chong'an felt angry welling up, and his honest and honest face looked a little scary.

The little boy who was still running nose, when he saw Gu Chong'an's appearance, sucked back the snot all at once, and looked at Gu Chong'an in fear.

"Grandpa Zhou's family has gone to Taiyuan Mansion to invite people...Grandpa Zhou was arrested because of us..." The boy in the lead tried to calm down, but he couldn't help trembling when he spoke.

"It's not because of you guys... Don't worry, Grandpa Zhou will be back soon, I guarantee he will be back soon!" Gu Chong'an said with determination in his eyes.

He raised his voice when he said this, but the children were less afraid. They looked at Gu Chong'an with shining eyes, hoping that this uncle could really save Grandpa Zhou back. They hoped strongly.

After Gu Chong'an left the alley, he didn't have time to think about his complicated mood, so he hurriedly found Ge Hong, told him about this matter, and asked Ge Hong to help him with this, and save him from the Jinzhou prison.

"It's so ridiculous! A person like Mr. Zhou who tried his best to teach children with his own weak learning, was arrested in the name of setting up a private school! He is teaching children to read and understand. What's the matter? Wrong!" At the end, Gu Chong'an said in a deep voice, with a trace of ferocity in his eyes.

Ge Hong looked at the excited Gu Chong'an in astonishment, not quite understanding why he behaved like this.Gu Chong'an has always given him a mediocre feeling, honest and honest without making mistakes, he has never seen such an angry and angry expression like now.

Besides, his words were too weird.It's obvious why that person was detained: set up a private school!

Therefore, Ge Hong said suspiciously: "Chong'an, the imperial court forbids privately setting up disciples to teach students. It is a mistake for that person to do so!"

Ge Hong's doubtful words fell on Gu Chong'an's head like a downpour, his eyes widened in astonishment, and his mouth was slightly opened.It was pouring rain, and of course it was thunder and lightning. This was Gu Chong'an's mood at the moment.As if he suddenly realized something, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

It's wrong to set up disciples without permission, wrong!It was wrong!

"Chong'an, are you okay?" Ge Hong looked at his subordinate worriedly. He looked like he was hitting with a big hand. Could there be something wrong?Now that he is about to return to Jingzhao, it is best not to have anything happen.

Gu Chong'an took a deep breath, and replied in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, I'm fine."

His heart trembled slightly, it was true that nothing happened, not only nothing happened, but the fog that had been lingering in his mind for a long time was cleared away, no longer hazy, Gu Chong'an could clearly see what he was thinking in his heart.

Immediately, he said pleadingly: "My lord, please don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that the old man has some kind of friendship with me, and I asked my lord to represent Zhou Xuan on my behalf. I'm very grateful."

He ran back to find Ge Hong immediately because he knew that Ge Hong and Jinzhou Si Gong Ren Ying were classmates, and as long as Ge Hong could lend a helping hand, the old man would be released from prison.It's just teaching a few children, what kind of private school?
"Forget it, I'll talk to Mr. Ren about this matter." Finally, Ge Hong replied like this.Hearing the details of Gu Chong'an's details, Ge Hong also felt that Ren Ying's handling of this matter was unkind, and it was too much of a fuss for an old man.

Gu Chong'an was very grateful, he understood that Ge Hong was able to say this not only because he was his subordinate, but also because he had a Gu family behind him.But Ge Hong didn't have to ask for affection, no matter what he said, he was grateful.

Old man Zhou was finally released, but he was not allowed to teach these children anymore.The old man has suffered a lot in prison, and his spirit is not as good as before. Even if he wants to teach, he doesn't have the energy and thought.
Later, the great Confucian Zhou Chong also came to this alley in Jinzhou, looked at his former loyal servant, sighed, and said, "Why bother?"

When Zhou Chong said this, Gu Chong'an happened to be in the alley.After hearing these three words, he didn't say anything, but bent over to the old man Zhou, and said respectfully: "Old man, I'm going back to Jingzhao, please take care of me."

He didn't even look at Zhou Chong, a great Confucian is nothing more than that.Confucians have no heart to love the people, and no intention to stick to it. Gu Chong'an doesn't know why he is called great.In his opinion, Zhou Chong was not as numerous as his servants.

The old man Zhou struggled, and said to Gu Chong'an: "Thank you, sir, thanks to your help, Zhou is very grateful..." The old man thought it was Zhou Chong who saved him, but later he realized that the one who really helped him was the one who listened to him. Talking middle-aged man.

It turned out that he was the official of the Secretary's Ministry for this interview. No wonder he would ask so many things, and it turned out that it was for the Secretary's Ministry.

"Old man, you are being polite. This thank you should be said by Gu." Gu Chong'an said with a smile, sincerity was on his honest face.

He is indeed extremely grateful to the old man. If it weren't for the old man and these things, he might never know his own heart, let alone follow his own heart.
