Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Choi Xie, a filial son, did a great job. In the imperial court, he had to compile records, prepare edicts, and eat... He also wanted to be a book official of the banquet exhibition. Apart from working hard at night, he also wrote dozens for the father in prison. A poem article, I will express my sadness at every opportunity.

Teacher Li was very satisfied when he saw his pile of poems that were not very poetic and not very emotional. He told Liu Jian and Liu Xueshi privately to boast of his pure filial piety: "I thought he had written a few poems as a teacher. Poems, he tried his best to procrastinate, and I had to change the poems to be made for him. Now, because of my father’s eagerness and passion, I wrote so many poems..."

There are enough poems written, but where do you see the "excitement"? Isn't this poem a work of reluctant rhyme? What he wrote before could be worse than this?

Li Dongyang, who has the most famous poem in the world, boasted of this level of clumsy poem, Liu Jian couldn't agree. After much deliberation, it can only be attributed to his being a teacher, and the standard of reading his apprentice's poems has been lowered.

He couldn’t boast about these poems, so he picked a place to compliment him: “The harmony is indeed pure filial piety. Fortunately, he sent the account books and stolen goods to the Zhenfu Division early, so that Jin Yiwei could close the case early. It also saved the old gentleman from going to the court for interrogation, and he was tortured for nothing."

Cui Que did well in the imprisonment, thanks to the blessing of his son. Because his family paid the stolen money early, he didn’t need to mention the court interrogation or torture when chasing the stolen silver. He just stayed in a clean prison cell, and his son asked for a letter to send in. , This prison is pretty good. But now the supervisory yushi has brought back local evidence and testimony. The evidence in the bribery case is conclusive. His time in jail is over and he should be sentenced.

Zhenfu Xie Ying's trial was strict and not tolerant of personal affair. Although she had been with Cui Xie for many years, she coldly wrote the four characters "miscellaneous crime" on the dossier.

The memorial was submitted to the emperor, and the emperor Hongzhi remembered the promise to Cui Xie, the royal pen and Zhuan, and allowed his family to redeem the copper to avoid death. After all the stolen goods are paid, he will return to be an official.

However, when the imperial edict reached the center, it was refuted by the chief assistant Liu Jifeng.

Master Liu returned to the style of having met and betrayed each other since the new dynasty, and fighting was on the front line of admonition. Uemoto advised the emperor not to forgive his father's sins for pampering the Donggong old knowledge. Cui Que harassed the people and native officials in Yunnan, and he was in danger of chaosing the peace of the border. He first asked for money because of his position, and then indulged his family to print money for profit. He committed both public and private crimes. The crime should not be forgiven. Why should it be simple Tell him to return to the court after returning the stolen money?

If he still does such a thing and provokes chaos among the people in the border, shouldn't he disrupt the livelihood of the people and harm the emperor Shengming?

Thousands of words come together into one sentence-cannot be forgiven!

Unlike Naifu, Emperor Hongzhi was an emperor who was good at criticizing and accepting advice. Not only did he not dislike his disobedience, but he accepted his advice humbly. When the decree was re-declared, the decree changed the previous atonement to make up for his original position and changed it to a four-year imprisonment. He was allowed to transport a charcoal to ransom him and return home for the people after the penalty.

Lao Liu Ge even wanted to refute this decree.

But when Cui Xie Shangben apologized, he tried to protect Cui Xie from being implicated. Now he embarrassed Cui Qiao himself. Did he want to show loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? The two bachelors asked the first assistant to act as a demon and were a little impatient, and persuaded him: "The saint’s will is so, why should the first assistant insist on sealing it? Besides, the official guilty is still subject to atonement, calling him ten nanometers or 15 shi for miscellaneous grains every year. At the frontier, five years of acceptance is worth forty-eight pennies of atonement."

Liu Shoufu put on the air of fairness, strictness and uncompromising feelings, and sighed embarrassedly: "As the holy intention is like this, the official has to do so."

The cabinet quickly drafted the plan, and the emperor saw that the sentencing was not too heavy, so he ordered the town fusi to bring the prisoner to his hometown in Qian'an.

Naturally, it is necessary to pay ten shims to the border every year for atonement.

Because the emperor wanted to take care of Cui Xie, the two scholars persuaded him, Liu Shoufu also raised his hand, so he did not ask him to go to distant places like Yunnan and Fujian, but only transported him to Yulin County, more than 1,500 miles away.

The order came to the Zhenfu Secretary, Xie Zhenfu immediately asked the jailer to lead the people out, and said to the rather haggard Cui Que who had been in a black jail for half a year: "Mr. Cui, your case is over. You are participating in Yunnan. It was a crime of death to commit bribery and violation of the law and infringement of the locality. However, it is a sacred decree that your family can go to the border guards of Yulin County every year to redeem this crime. The officer will send someone to notify your family to collect someone to pay it back. township."

He pushed through the case file coldly and asked someone to show it to Cui Que for signing, but Cui Que could not calm down, and his arms were trembling slightly when signing.

It wasn't because the punishment was too heavy, but he suddenly remembered that Liu's family father was guarding the Yulin guard. He had a fight with Liu's family, and then the two families broke off. The military commander's family was vulgar and held grudges. He is now dismissed from office and has to transport rice to the border in person. When the family saw him, they were so insulted!

Xie Zhenfu in the hall completely ignored his worries. After receiving the apostolic documents, he was sent back to prison and sent someone to notify the Cui family to redeem him.

When Cui Xie heard a letter from his family in the Imperial Academy, he was so regretful that he almost didn't maintain a good expression. Fortunately, the historical materials on the table are piled high. People didn't see his face very clearly. They only thought that he was a pleasant surprise, and called him again: "Congratulations, Master Cui, father and son, have to be reunited again, aren't you going back? "

Go back, go back, go back now!

When Cui Xie returned home, he immediately ordered his family members to get brand new clothes and drove to the town of Fu Si Yamen to pick up people. Xie Zhenfu had long known that he had come, so he mentioned that Cui Que was waiting for him in the second hall, and he handed the person to Cui Xie face to face, saying: "The imperial edict is to order the respect to return to his native place for the people. To redeem the death penalty. But Nano has the rules of Nano-from today on, you must be taken to the border in person, and within two months, there will be jailed by Jinyi guards."

The next four years will be the same every year, and only if he has enough atonement rice can he be regarded as a serious and innocent beloved citizen.

Cui Xie was very grateful, and bowed his hand to the Forbidden City: "Your Majesty is like the sea, how can Cui Xie repay me!" He said to Xie Ying: "My father has received more attention from adults in the past six months. Settle in, father will invite the adults to the humble house for a glass of water and wine."

Xie Ying smiled faintly, and said with restraint: "The official is just reporting the case to the public and acting in accordance with the imperial decree. Master Cui does not need to say thank you, so I will take the father back and prepare the rice and send it to the border."

Cui Xie arched his hands and asked his family to help Cui Xie get into the car, leaving Xiao Songyan inside to change his clothes, and rode his horse back to the house.

After changing into decent clothes and arriving at home, Cui Que raised his father's prestige and asked Cui Daguan to open the ancestral hall, and he wanted to thank his ancestors for blessing.

No matter what he tossed about, Cui Xie only asked people to go to the farm in the suburbs of Beijing overnight to adjust the rice and rent a carriage. Tomorrow, he would send the rice to the border for his master.

Cui Que watched him busy, thinking that he was about to go to Yulinwei to be humiliated. He couldn't help showing an angry look on his face, frowning and scolding him: "Didn't you always caress with Xie Zhen? How can he not look at you? The face, should be raised, should be tortured, and today is aggressively asking me to transport rice, not to give your father and me some respect?"

Cui Xie was startled, and answered honestly: "Because the master said that I was not allowed to interact with Jin Yiwei, which tarnished the reputation of Cui Jiaqing, I did not dare to associate with Xie Zhenfu. But please rest assured, the case is now closed, as long as our family If they have enough rice, no matter how tyrannical they are, they can't find their master."

...

Cui Senyi flicked his sleeve heavily and turned back to the room.

The yard was empty, and the family and concubines who came with him were gone, only a few awkward women and family members were tidying up in the yard. He returned angrily again to find Cui Xie and asked him where he had sent the family maid he was used to.

Cui Xie still said innocently: "At the beginning, something happened to the master, and I was pointed out that it was possible to push the bribery to the family members, and the master was washed out, and they were sent to the town chief for interrogation. These are these. Some people asked about the crime and have been found out, and some because I knew too much about Yunnan, I was afraid that the master's reputation would be bad, so I asked people to send it to Zhuangzi to watch."

As for the two aunts, Cui Que was still in his father's filial piety, and had no face to ask the concubine's room, so he just snorted.

Cui Xie said thoughtfully: "If the master wants them to serve him, I will ask someone to send them to Jiaxiangtun and still serve the master when I return to Yulin after losing this year's rice grains?"

Master Cui has to go out to transport food himself, so who should he serve? The fight came. Those people walked from Qian'an to Beijing, and he had already walked hundreds of miles on the road.

After he had eaten two meals of vegetarian dishes at home, a Jinyiwei Lishi came to see him and some powerful servants to transport rice to Yulin County.

The food to be transported to the border is ten stones, and a group of people on the road has to have two or three stones for chewing. It is an ordinary person who pays for the food and brings silver in Beijing and buys it at the nearest border. Cui Xie didn't have this common sense. He directly asked someone to load a few carts of rice, bring some dried food, vegetables, Beijing specialties, and a few seals of silver, and asked his family from Liu's family to carry it with them.

Liu Zhuangtou’s family has not traveled to Yulin less in these years, Lu Shu, and recognize his grandfather’s house, along the way, can be a guide and send letters to Liu’s family to ask his grandfather for help, so he will definitely not cause trouble to his father.

He still wanted to give silver to the two Jinyiwei escorts, but the two strong men refused. One blushed, and the other with a white fangs smiled at him: "Cui Hanlin is an interpreter for us Jinyiwei and helps us Jinyiwei. The one who captured the Japanese pirates, how can we ask for your silver!"

Cui Hanlin was secretly happy, and said modestly: "It was written by the writer at random. I have never seen a Japanese pirate when I grow up. If I really meet a Japanese pirate in the future, I would also like to follow Xie Zhenfu. To be a hero who kills the enemy with a gun, is not just an interpreter behind you."

They chatted intimately, but Cui Que couldn't help showing his anger: "Didn't you say that you don't get along well with Xie Zhen's caresser? You and him have always had a deep friendship..." It's just that he didn't make trouble for his father What strength!

Cui Xie lowered his head and remained silent, letting his father blame. The two guards couldn't stand it anymore. They intervened and shouted: "Master Cui, what is this? Cui Hanlin is with us Xie Zhenfu. Why not? The emperor didn’t say no. Could it be that you still look down on our Jinyi Guardian? If we don’t look after Cui Hanlin's face to take care of you, Master Yi Cui, who almost instigated the crime of provoking chaos, would not be in prison. Stayed in peace for half a year, and came out like this!"

Cui Hanlin's secret sacrifice for his father was picked out in broad daylight. Cui Que blushed with anger and couldn't say a word. He gritted his teeth and bowed his head and rushed into the carriage.

Cui Xie thanked the two great men for their protection, and rushed up to explain in a low voice to his father and apologized. When he was almost coaxed, he asked someone to bring more money to the Liu Zhuang family who was accompanying him, and asked him to drink more wine and buy meat for Jin Yiwei on the way. Carefully prepare vegetarian meals for the master, and don't miss his filial piety.

Such a filial son made Tiandi even moved when he saw it.

Regardless of whether his father appreciates it or not, Cui Xie himself has to arrange everything for his father. After Yin Yin told his family, he said to the two Jinyiwei: "The grandfather of the family is the caretaker of Yulin Weizhen, Mr. Liu. The two arrived in Yulin as if they were at Cui's house. In the last section of the road, there were harassment who sneaked into the gate. When the two of you get there, you can stop in the big city with food, and ask your family to send a letter to my grandfather, asking them to send some people to **** the food, so as not to be looted by bandits over there."

The two powerful men only knew that he was the son of Master Cui’s front room, but they could not guess that the two relatives had turned against each other. The son-in-law did not want to see Lao Taishan, and both agreed happily: "Nothing! The officials are also looking forward to it. The food was delivered in peace and peace, and the mission was over. As someone from Yulin answered, then we can just stop in Suidezhou. Our brother will deliver the letter for your old husband in person."
