Chapter 3492 Extra Story Mr. Zhuang 8

"I heard that he expressed doubts about Mr. Zhuang's character in front of the Imperial Academy officials, so Mr. Zhuang failed the exam, so he thought about the imperial examination, wrote a poem and posted it," the man sighed and said, "Oh Well, what happened was bad because of this poem, that classmate bribed a close friend of Mr. Zhuang and stole the poem, and he rushed in front of Mr. Zhuang and read this poem first at the poetry meeting."

"Mr. Zhuang didn't know anything, so he posted the poem posts out the next day, and when the news spread, everyone said he was the one who stole the poems."

Everyone was surprised, "What a vicious mind, once this reputation comes out, Mr. Zhuang's official career may be cut off."

"Isn't it just broken? That's why Mr. Zhuang had to leave the capital. Later, he had the opportunity to accept Master Zhou's three disciples. This is called a blessing in disguise."

"Who is that classmate? His thoughts are so vicious, if you say it, we can avoid seeing their family members in the future."

"Oh, although the white son-in-law's book uses aliases for everyone, the official positions are clearly written. I have carefully compared and studied. During the time when the first emperor, Mr. Zhou and the others entered Beijing, there was a household doctor named People from Chen Fulin." The man's eyes lit up, his face excited, "I checked again, and sure enough, Chen Fulin is also from Jiannan Road, a student of Yizhou Prefecture School at the same time as Mr. Zhuang..."

"...you, why are you working so hard?"

"Oh, I'm a book fan of Bai Consort. It is said that every book of Bai Concubine has a prototype. The famous "Biography of Xiang Xia" written by him is based on Xiang Mingxue, a well-known chivalrous merchant. ?”

"You also fell in love with the white son-in-law after watching "The Biography of Xiangxia"?"

"That's right, literati all value poetry and prose, and despise novels. Whoever writes some bizarre and miscellaneous articles in their spare time must tighten up and dare not show them to others. Don't dare to use my real name," he said, "How many people are there in the world who are as frank and sincere as the white son-in-law who are not afraid of gossip?"

One person added: "And it's also honorable."

"Exactly."

People who just came out of the mountain often heard stories about the white son-in-law, and they were not very interested in it. He was more curious about that Mr. Zhuang, so he brought the topic back, "In this way, this Mr. Zhuang came through hardships and was a late bloomer. gone?"

"No one can say whether this is good or bad. Do you think he only suffers from this kind of injustice? It is said in "Dreams of the Past" that Mr. Zhuang was very poor for a while after he was driven out of the capital. When I was an aide, I was humiliated and suppressed."

"I don't know who it is, but it's still in court?"

"If it's in the court, it should be embarrassing to meet you when you go to the court. I don't know if you will regret your death."

Humanity who has finished reading the entire "Dream of the Past" said: "I don't know if I will regret it, because it is not written in the book, but I checked the imperial court's residence newspaper carefully, and found that the timeline described in the book is similar to that of the governor of Longzhou. He was dismissed and investigated for being greedy and cool.”

"I calculated the time, at that time, Mr. Zhuang probably left Longzhou for more than three years..."

"...Brother is so powerful that they even found the mansion to check." Such a book friend is too scary, someone asked cautiously, "Wouldn't brother have checked everyone in the book of the white son-in-law?"

"Well, I would like to, but the information is limited, the time span involved is large, the place is also large, and the news lags behind, so I can only find some well-documented people, and I can find others with all my strength. No," he said with indelible thoughts, "for example, the cliff where Xiang Xia fell off the cliff and obtained the martial arts secret books of his predecessors. I made a special trip to Jiannan Road for this purpose, and took Luzhou, Yuzhou, Suizhou, and Hezhou. I've searched, but I can't find that cliff."

Everyone: ...

Someone said cautiously: "Perhaps it was fabricated by the white son-in-law?"

"It can't be fabricated, because the description on it is so detailed." He said: "You can see Mr. Zhuang's experience in "Dreams of the Past", which shows that the white son-in-law is serious about writing the book, even with such a title. He can write so authentically, not to mention "Xiang Xia Ji" is a so-called biography of Xiang Mingxue."

In general, biographies are more real than dreams and the like.

But they didn't know that Bai Erlang was still young when he wrote "Xiang Xia Ji", and the things added in it made the protagonist Xiang Mingxue feel unfamiliar. It felt like he was looking at another person, except for the name and identity background. He, nothing else at all.

"I've read "Xiang Xia Ji", but I don't know where "The Dream of the Past" is sold, I want to buy a copy to see."

"I wonder if those who suppressed Taifu Zhuang before regretted it at this time?"

In fact, Governor Du regretted it a long time ago. When he regretted it, Mr. Zhuang was still working as a teacher in Luojiang County before he was in his early years.

After Zhuang Xun left, he quickly recruited another master for himself. This one was very suitable for him and Mrs. Du. No matter what he said or did, he made people feel happy, but his ability to handle official affairs was worse than Zhuang Xun's. a little bit.

But it doesn't matter, the flaws don't hide the goodness.

His assessment was medium that year, and low in the second year...

When the performance assessment came down, Du Cishi was shocked to realize the difference in ability between the new master and Zhuang Xun. He finally became a little unhappy, so he continued to look for useful staff.

He recruited two more staff members, thinking that the three cobblers will always surpass Zhuge Liang, right?

As a result, they scrambled for power and profit by themselves, which in turn agitated Mrs. Du and other wives and concubines in the backyard, and they began to fight each other.

So today Mrs. Du took the money from the owner's family and wanted to be the master of the owner's family, and tomorrow the concubine took the money from the West's family and blew pillow wind in Du Jishi's ear...

Du Cishi's family background is not bad, but not to the extent that he can cover the sky with one hand. It happened that the princes in the court were fighting fiercely at that time, and there was nowhere to spread the righteous fire. A group of people acted as a model.

He was dismissed and investigated, his family property was confiscated, and he was sent back to his hometown. Of course, the family property is still there, and life is not bad, but...

His face was gone, which made Du Shishi, who loves power, heartbroken and uncomfortable. He regretted it at the time, and couldn't help complaining to his wife every day, "If you hadn't driven Zhuang Xun away back then, why would the family be so miserable? Make such a big mistake?"

So much so that he even disliked his son, "Things that are not successful enough are more than bad things, whose son is not helping me to win over my staff, you are good, and spoiling talents, I really don't feel sorry for my father."

Mrs. Du wouldn't just stand and let him scold her, she said: "You didn't stop me at the time, it was you who wanted to drive people away, what are you doing to me?"

The husband and wife had a big quarrel, but they refused to give up the chance to make a comeback, so Governor Du went to apply for an official whenever he was free. For ten years in a row, he spent a lot of money, but he couldn't get a single official position.

The emperor did not use dirty officials. Those who were dismissed for various reasons such as corruption, dereliction of duty, cruelty, etc. After a few years, as long as they seriously asked for an official, the emperor would most likely agree.

But those people all have their merits. They have either made great contributions, and the emperor will turn a blind eye to the fact that their merits and demerits are equal; or they are outstanding talents. Yes, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

But Du Cishi didn't occupy both, he had neither merit nor talent, how could the emperor forget his mistakes?

See you tomorrow
