Hello everyone.
My name is Chen Wujiu.
I originally wanted to be an honest and kind person, and I have adhered to this as my life principle for thirty years.
This road is very difficult.
It can be said that he has a tragic life, bad luck and a bad career.
But no matter how many difficulties I encounter, they cannot knock me down, let alone defeat me.
It can only make my heart stronger!
With the help of our good brother Wei Wuyin, the two of us worked together to fight our way through this murky officialdom, gradually climbing up to the position of prefect of Jingzhou. I guess we've achieved a bit of success.
Originally, I thought my life was destined and there would be no more ups and downs.
Until, I met someone.
His name is Qin Yuan.
He is the last disciple of his mentor Ming Lou. His mentor has high hopes for him, hoping that he can change the Great Zhou and cure this terminally ill world.
He is also very competitive.
As soon as he came out of the mountains, he won the first place in the imperial examination with absolute advantage, became the new number one scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was assigned to the Jingzhou government office, with a bright future.
I originally thought that the three of us brothers could work together to make our company bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
But, I never expected it.
This exceptionally talented junior fellow turned out to be a troubled teenager...
He had no ambition to make progress all day long, and did not think about handling affairs or speaking up for the people. All he thought about all day long was signing in and punching out to go home!
What is even more speechless is...
He always encountered some trouble on his way to the government office.
It's not a fight that needs to be dealt with.
He encountered a young man from a noble family riding his horse in the street, injuring several people and requiring rescue.
Then the driver had a stomachache and had to go to the toilet.
There are also problems such as the horse being too weak to walk on the road.
Mencius said: "When a person is born, his nature is good."
I believe that human nature is good, and as my master's last disciple, I will definitely not lie.
If he lied, wouldn't I, as the chief officer, be committing favoritism and perverting the law?
For this reason, I had no choice but to pay out of my own pocket and let my junior brother go back to invite some magicians to perform some rituals to exorcise the evil spirits.
How could anyone be so unlucky? He must be possessed.
If this continues for a long time and gets heard by the censor, he will be reported to the police and he will definitely be in trouble.
As expected.
After the junior brother got the money and hired a wizard, the journey became much safer and he could arrive at work on time every day.
I originally thought that this time my junior brother would finally be able to speak up for the people and help Your Majesty relieve his worries.
Who would have thought that I would accidentally discover that this junior brother was actually dozing off on the table.
As the saying goes, the morning sets the tone for the day.
This is the time to work hard and fight for the people. How can we waste our best years by sleeping on the desk?
Moreover, as an official appointed by the court and receiving a salary from the court, he should speak for the people and share the worries of His Majesty. How could he just sit in office and do nothing?
In this case, how can I live up to the expectations of my mentor?
Therefore, I hinted to my junior fellow apprentice several times, both explicitly and covertly, that he should exercise restraint and not die under the guise of a beautiful woman.
Unexpectedly, he smiled and said, "Brother, if there are flowers to be picked, pick them now. Don't wait until there are no flowers left and then break the branches."
but.
He finally knew to avoid me.
In order to correct his bad habits, he played a game of cat and mouse with me.
It suddenly added a lot of troubles to my usual monotonous life.
Oh my god.
How could there be someone like my junior brother in this world?
It's really a disgrace to me as a scholar!
What bothers me even more is...
My good brother Wei Wuyin was also bewitched by my junior brother and started to act carelessly.
It's true that birds of a feather flock together. It makes me so angry!
I wanted to go to my mentor to complain and ask him to take my junior brother back home for further training and education.
How can such a person be worthy of the title of "imperial official"?
Unexpectedly, the imperial court encountered a disaster. Many places were hit by severe drought and no crops grew. Millions of disaster victims, instigated by some people with ulterior motives, began to flee towards Jingzhou Prefecture.
The emperor is incompetent and weak, treacherous ministers are in power in the court, and the treasury is empty. How can he cope with such a crisis?
The ministers in the court discussed the issue for countless days and nights and read through countless books, but still could not come up with a solution.
As a result, all officials in Jingzhou were forced to work overtime to find ways to resolve the current crisis.
In order to go home early.
This junior brother actually came up with a crazy idea!
"The relief grain isn't enough. Why not mix some rice bran and sand into it?"
"Anyway, we'll just give them something to eat first, so they can get through these few months. When food arrives from the various states, we'll improve their diet."
"Brother, I've already figured out a solution for you. I'll go home and sleep first..."
wipe!
My junior brother’s words almost scared me to death.
Is this something a human can say?
Is this something a human can do?
How is this different from corrupt officials?
How is this different from murder?
If the news reached the imperial court, what would the officials think? What would the censors think? What would future generations think thousands of years from now?
Even if he helped the Great Zhou overcome a temporary crisis, he would definitely be killed as a sacrifice to heaven to appease the public anger.
A real man should die on the battlefield, how can he die in such a miserable way!
I immediately stopped my junior brother who was trying to run away, and warned him seriously and earnestly.
If you are tired, go home and rest first.
Stop talking nonsense like that.
