Chapter 176: Debate over the Imperial Way and the Cultural Society
Although Han Anbang was a little narrow-minded and liked to do ruthless things, the important position of the warden was in the hands of Jia Yucun. It was more appropriate for him to give the position of the warden to Sun Shaozong’s people. He was still able to understand it clearly. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
Therefore, the appreciation of Jia Yucun and Zhou Da was basically guaranteed.
The only thing that Sun Shaozong didn't trust was that if he got rich, he would amass wealth like his predecessor. So when he returned to the Criminal Department, he specifically called him over to frighten him.
Zhou Da heard that the "promotion to the Prison Department" had been settled. He was pleased. Not to mention he pointed his nose up and cursed, it was fine even though he was threatened with a few words.
So he made a good promise in front of Sun Shaozong and then walked out of the hall happily.
"Brother Zhou, stop!"
Just as he came down the steps, a man came up behind him.
Zhou Da looked back and saw that it was Cheng Rixing who had called him. He bowed and said, "Private Advisor Cheng, what do you want to tell me?"
Cheng Rixing smiled and said, "I just want to ask, what are the arrangements for the vacancy of the Clerks and Ministers?"
The officials and envoys were all subordinate officials under the jurisdiction of the Prison Department. They were commonly known as prison leaders. This time, the fall of the prison leader was a nested case. Naturally, several prison leaders were also taken down.
"Well..."
Zhou Da knew that he had something to say. He then asked carefully, "The Assistant Magistrate didn’t mention anything, could Private Advisor Cheng have any good candidates to recommend?"
"Although it is not ”virtuous”."
Cheng Rixing smiled and said, "I really have a suitable candidate here. It's the drunken vagary boxer, Ni’er, from Yunshui Lane. He is relative to the Master, and he also has a lot of methods for doing things. If you ask him to punish those slippery jailers, wouldn't it save you a lot of trouble?"
Zhou Da also knew about the drunken vagary boxer, Ni’er.
Although he has a relative relationship with the Sun family, people like Ni’er couldn't get in front of Sun Shaozong and Sun Shaozu, but he has been very close to Cheng Rixing in recent days. It was very important to help Cheng Rixing with some ”private affairs.”
However, what Rixing said was true. One of the Sun family's relatives was here to handle the difficult matters in front of him, he must be able to save a lot of energy in the Prison Department.
It was just that...
It turned out that two students of Sun Shaozong came yesterday to invite three of them to participate in the "Jade Pavilion Poetry Club." All three of them felt that this was a good opportunity to exchange ideas with local scholars, and they gladly went there.
Who knew that Sun Hanlin appeared at the meeting? Everyone was flattering him, showing off, and targeting three of them everywhere.
"My third brother and I are not as skilled as others, and we can't say anything!"
Sun Chengtao angrily said, "But Tingyi's poems are obviously superior to those of Sun Hanlin in terms of style, but they are worthless! I was angry and retorted a few words, and he made a few sarcasms at me!"
Sun Hanlin?
Unexpectedly, this guy lost his face in front of himself and found trouble with several "younger generations".
Sun Shaozong sneered and said to Yu Qian, "Let me have a look at the poems Sun Hanlin and you have written."
Yu Qian smiled unconcernedly, "Poems are just like a little Taoist, and it's not enough to be happy about winning or worried about losing. It's Li Jingbin and Wang Zhefei who, knowing that Uncle and Sun Hanlin are not friendly, still encourage us to participate in the cultural conference of the Jade Pavilion..."
Sun Chengtao was stunned beside him. Apparently, he hadn't thought of this before. He hesitated and said, "Brother Li and Brother Wang may not... may not have some evil intentions? Besides, we have no evidence."
Evidence?
What evidence was needed for such a thing as "betraying and shaming the teacher"? Just a little possibility was enough!
However, Sun Shaozong was too lazy to talk about these two inferior people and urged Yu Qian again to transcribe all of those poems.
Based on Sun Shaozong's ancient literature, it really was difficult to distinguish the difference between these poems. Besides, even if he were a martial artist, those scholars would not recognize him, even if they could comment on him.
Fortunately, he asked Yu Qian to write it down, but it wasn’t for himself.
After drying the ink on it, he rolled it up and put it in his sleeve pocket. Sun Shaozong said, "In a few days, I will let people show these poems to Lord Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If they are suspected of relying on power to suppress talents...”
Speaking of this, he sneered several times, "That Sun Hanlin, I'm afraid he will have no face to stay in the Imperial Academy."
Since Sun Hanlin used his power to suppress Yu Qian, it was no wonder that Sun Shaozong brought out the great god, Minister Wang, and crushed him mercilessly.
Of course, the premise was that Yu Qian's poems were better than Sun Hanlin's.
