Compulsory education in ancient times

Of course Qi Bohan didn't expect this group of guys to assist, but the court is not without him!

I saw that Wang Lingjun was in high spirits, and he didn't feel sluggish after staying up all night. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Qi Bohan and Wang Lingjun sang together, bluntly putting on the table what happened in Yihong Courtyard last night.

Only then did someone realize that Qi Bohan is going to mess with the Gong family? !

Some people were skeptical, but there were also clever people who immediately stood up and asked Qi Bohan to severely punish the incestuous and adulterous uncle and nephew!

At this time, no one dared to push the Gong family, and only pointed all the blame at Gong Xueyi and Gong Ying.

Qi Bohan watched the performance of the people below with cold eyes, and silently wrote down the names of these people in his heart.

When their performances were over and one after another began to ask Qi Bohan to order the execution, Yuan Shajing, who had watched the whole performance, received Qi Bohan's eye signal, and then stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

As soon as Yuan Shajing came out, everyone who thought they could make a conclusion was dumbfounded.Qi Bohan asked his own people to stand up at this time, certainly not because he wanted to change the subject. Could it be that Qi Bohan really planned to touch the Gong family? !

Sure enough, after Yuan Shajing got Qi Bohan's permission, he immediately handed over a memorial: "Your Majesty, I sue Situ Gong Yuanliang and his two sons, Gong Xueli and Gong Xueyi, for buying and selling official positions, cheating in imperial examinations, conniving at subordinates' lives, and occupying people's fields. Selling private salt. The guilt is beyond description, and I hope His Majesty will decide!"

As soon as Yuan Shajing's words fell, the entire Zichen Palace was immediately so quiet that only Qi Bohan's voice was left flipping through the memorial.No one believed that Yuan Shajing trampled on the Gong family like this without Qi Bohan's instigation.But what is Qi Bohan's intention in doing this?

Qi Bohan seemed to be flipping through the memorial, but his peripheral vision was on the courtiers below.After seeing that everyone's expressions had almost reacted, he pretended to be angry, and threw the memorial at the feet of the person who had just helped the Gong family get away with crimes.

"It's unreasonable! I trust Gong Yuanliang so much in vain. He committed such a heinous crime!" Qi Bohan blushed with anger, "Yuan Aiqing! I order you to arrest the three members of the Gong family immediately, and thoroughly investigate this matter within a month!"

"Chen Zun..."

Before Yuan Shajing finished speaking, Dali Temple Secretary quickly interrupted: "Your Majesty, Gong Yuanliang and his son are in high positions and are relatives. This matter should be thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple."

"Gong Xueli is the young minister of Dali Temple. Dali Temple should avoid suspicion about this matter." Yuan Shajing frowned and argued, "Master Zhao is so anxious, is it because he wants to favor Gong Xueli!" Yuan Shajing doesn't understand these officialdoms well. The polite words on the Internet, he is straightforward but not stupid.He had tried many cases of collusion between officials and businessmen before, and those officials had such a sneaky appearance in Dali Temple!

"Yuan Shangshu can't spit blood on people for no reason!" Dali Siqing was so questioned by the crowd, his face was even redder than Qi Bohan's.

Qi Bohan didn't know which side this Dali Siqing belonged to, but this matter would definitely not allow outsiders to intervene in favor of the side.He had to hit with one blow, so that Gong Jiayong would be able to shake off the other aristocratic families when he turned around!So Qi Bohan snorted coldly, and said loudly: "This case should indeed be tried by Dali Temple."

The minister of Dali Temple heard the words, but before he had time to be happy, he heard Qi Bohan say: "Since Gong Xueli is in prison for a crime, let Mr. Zhao serve as the young minister of Dali Temple, and assist Yuan Aiqing to thoroughly investigate the case!"

With one sentence, Qi Bohan dismissed a position as Minister of Dali Temple, and let Yuan Shajing concurrently serve as Minister of Dali Temple. This is to take back the big cake of the aristocratic family!

This made other families start to worry.Some people wanted to object, but Qi Bohan didn't give them this chance, pretending to be angry and forcefully announced his withdrawal from the court!

Gong Xueli and his younger brother and daughter waited outside the dormitory until the morning court, but it wasn't Qi Bohan who ushered in, but soldiers who came to arrest them!

In the early morning, before the news spread, Yuan Shajing led five hundred officers and soldiers to surround Gong's mansion, and sent everyone into the dungeon without moving, even though the inside was crying and screaming.

Qi Bohan came up with such a move before the Chinese New Year. He acted vigorously and suppressed all the aristocratic families.As a result, in the next few days, there were not many people who dared to object to the orders issued by Qi Bohan.But if the implementation is not in place, that is another problem.

The case of the Gong family was quickly clarified.Those evidences were all sent out by secret guards to search immediately after Qi Bohan came to power.For such thorough preparations, it took Yuan Shajing less than half a month to collect all the witnesses, and finally sentenced Gong Yuanliang and his son to be beheaded for public display.There were also more than a dozen capable subordinates who helped these three people do bad things, and they were all sentenced to death.

The rest of the Gong family, who made mistakes, will all be punished as crimes.Others who have not done bad things, whether male or female, were all dispatched to the frontier as corvee.

It's bitter cold in the frontier, and I don't know how many years these pampered and spoiled children of aristocratic families can survive.Good luck means lifelong hard labor, bad luck means death reprieve.

Qi Bohan was noncommittal about Yuan Shajing's conviction. Originally, he thought it would be a matter of punishing the three clans, but he didn't expect Yuan Shajing to divide it so carefully, which surprised him a bit.But this is also good, so as not to bear the title of cruel nature.Anyway, as long as the Gong family is completely defeated this time, his goal of killing chickens and monkeys has been achieved.He didn't really care about the life and death of the other little shrimps.

All the executions were carried out before the Chinese New Year, and those who were to be dispatched to the frontier had to be locked up in sky prisons until the Chinese New Year was over, and the soldiers escorted to the corvée had their holidays before leaving.

The end of the year in the capital was really full of ups and downs, and all the big families were in a state of anxiety, but Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan celebrated the new year with joy.

This year's Chinese New Year is a bit special, because there are no Tao Xiaomei and Tao Xiran, but the Shangshu Mansion is still very lively, because there are two more babies this year!

Elsewhere, however, the atmosphere was less convivial.

The Zhao family has lost the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Dali Temple one after another. The Zhao family is destined to be in a haze this year.

As the head of the family, Zhao Li quickly realized the unusual aura of the Gong family's defeat: "Those evidences must have been collected for a long time to be so comprehensive. If the Gong family did not offend some enemy, it would be that the sage fought from a From the very beginning, I wanted to destroy the Gong family."

Hearing this, a senior member of the Zhao family's eyelids twitched: "Could it be...the sage already knows that he is not Gong Yuanliang's grandson?"

As soon as the old saying of that tribe came out, the young people present were shocked.They didn't know what happened back then, but after hearing what the clan elder said, and thinking about Qi Bohan's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, what else could they not understand?

"If this is the case, then the saint's mind is too deep." Zhao Li lowered his head and said after a while, "The current situation is very unfavorable to the Zhao family. We can't go on like this."

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Xing, who was called the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was very anxious.

"We underestimated the sage too much. He is not at the same level as Qi Jingqi. The best way at present is..." Zhao Li took a deep breath and drew everyone's attention to himself before he said slowly He made his own decision, "Take refuge in the saint."

At the same time, after the New Year's Eve dinner, the only remaining family in Ning'an, the leaders of the Xie family gathered together.Compared with three years ago, Xie Xuan now looks much younger than before, with a ruddy complexion and firm and fierce ambition in his eyes.

This night was destined to be passed down from generation to generation by the Xie family.

Early the next morning, before the atmosphere of the new year dissipated, the Patriarchs of the Xie family started to pack up their belongings one after another, preparing to move home!

After the beginning of the new year, candidates from all over the country set off for the capital one after another, but the location of the primary school has yet to be decided.

Because Tao Jianran discovered that there are really not many students in the capital who cannot afford to go to school.It's not that there are no common people in the capital, but compared with other places, the needs of the capital are really not urgent at all!

So Tao Jianran temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​building a primary school in the capital, but set his sights on the Huaiyang Mansion next door.

Although Huaiyang Mansion is very rich, he still has a subordinate county, where there are many children who cannot afford to go to school!And there is an ally over there: the Guo family.

After Qi Bohan ascended the throne, he specially granted the Guo family three places to participate in the imperial examination, no matter what year they used it.But if these three quotas are used up, and the Guo family does not produce a single person who can enter the court as an official, then we can only wait for the next time, Qi Bohan's grace.

The Guo family also knows that the next opportunity may never come, so now the whole family is working hard.

Now the Guo family is at the time when the emperor's kindness is mighty, as soon as he heard that the minister of the Ministry of Rites had something to discuss, Guo Chengwei ran to the capital in the cold winter.

Guo Chengwei heard that the new Minister of Rites was deeply favored by the Holy One, but he never thought that the legendary celebrity in front of the Holy One turned out to be the young man who didn't follow the rules!

It's just that the childishness of that young man back then has faded, replaced by the inexplicable aura of the superior.But Tao Jianran is different from other officials. Other officials give people a sense of majesty, while Tao Jianran gives people a sense of distance in peace.

It seems that he is a very friendly person, but it will make you fear him.These two strange temperaments are mixed in one person, but it doesn't make people feel out of harmony.

"Patriarch Guo, long time no see." Tao Yanran greeted Guo Chengwei with a smile.He had a good impression of Guo Chengwei, because last summer, Guo Chengwei brought Ning An a lot of money.

Guo Chengwei was a little flattered, and quickly said: "Thank you for thinking about me, sir."

Tao Jianran nodded, without talking nonsense to him, and went directly to the topic: "The reason why I am looking for Patriarch Guo today is because I plan to build a Xingzhi Primary School in Huaiyang."

Guo Chengwei immediately understood Tao Jianran's implication: "Your Excellency, you want the Guo family to handle it?"
