It has everything you could need, which is exactly what Liu Feng likes best.
The lack of a teacher led to the emergence of a great scholar like Chun Yuan, who was upright and learned.
"Ouch."
Chun Yuan suddenly became excited, but she acted rather awkwardly, as if she was embarrassed.
"I am now the one who takes the blame."
“I don’t care whether you’re guilty or not. On my turf, I’m in charge. All I want are capable people.”
"You're a good person, that's enough for me."
Liu Feng spoke frankly.
The reason for sending Chun Yuan to the academy is simple: although the academy may seem insignificant, it bears the responsibility of spreading ideas.
Therefore, it is actually very important. Giving him such an important job is to increase the sense of belonging of the father and daughter to Zhengde County.
Now that his daughter is here, let's give him a decent job.
Even if one can enjoy their later years in Zhengde County, there is still hope.
"Alright, I'll go. Thank you, General Liu."
Chun Yuan readily agreed.
Now he has no psychological burden or concerns.
“Chun Yuan; my lord, do you recognize this thing?”
Liu Feng simply took out the Emperor's Sword and placed it on the table.
Since I'm here to see Chun Yuan, I can't be unprepared.
"This is?"
"The Emperor's Sword?"
Chun Yuan's expression immediately tightened, and he was greatly alarmed.
Although he was no longer an official of Dali and was no longer bound by those constraints, as an honest and upright official, he was well aware of the helplessness of being an emperor.
Therefore, he never held a grudge against the emperor for exiling him.
He only regretted that he had made a careless move and fallen into the trap of the Heaven and Earth Society, allowing them to exploit a loophole and frame him.
Holding the Emperor's Sword, Liu Feng was now the emperor's representative, and he no longer worried about his status as a fugitive.
With the Emperor's Sword at his disposal, he can be pardoned.
His subsequent conversations with Liu Feng became more open and honest.
"Alright, now that you know this is the Emperor's Sword, things will be much easier."
"As a man well-versed in literature and having served in the court for many years, Lord Chun Yuan must be even more aware of the significance of this sword."
“You can tell me everything that you were falsely accused of, and I can overturn the verdict and pardon your sins.”
"So that you are no longer a scapegoat."
To be honest, Liu Feng had no intention of exonerating Chun Yuan; why bother with all that trouble?
With the Emperor's Sword in his hand, his men are safe; no one can touch them.
That was just to put Chun Yuan's mind at ease.
Compared to Chun Yuan, who suffered so much torment and nearly died in exile, he now needs comfort.
Besides, we'll be living in Zhengde County from now on. The longer we live here, the more we'll feel a sense of belonging and be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
He himself would lose the will to clear his name.
"General Liu, there's absolutely no need for any overturning of the verdict. With the Emperor's Sword in your hand, I can rest easy."
"The past is the past, and I don't dwell on it."
"Since you've asked, I'll tell you about the thugs' purpose."
Chun Yuan is only in his forties now, which is an important period for advancement in officialdom.
Despite suffering such a disaster as exile, his mind was not affected in any way.
He still has a clear mind and speaks eloquently about things.
At that time, Chun Yuan was a prefect, and he had a very good reputation among the local people of Yanzhou.
At that time, a local merchant approached Chun Yuan, saying he wanted to help him solve the problem of famine among the people and was willing to spend money to buy grain to relieve the emergency.
They were even willing to spend money to buy farming tools and seeds, and lead the people to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land.
At first, Chun Yuan was very wary because he knew very well that merchants were profit-driven.
However, food is very important in a place like Yanzhou, especially since the city he was in bordered Liaodong, which was even more harsh and cold.
The importance of food is self-evident.
However, he thought at the time that even if he really wanted to do something underhanded, there was no way to do it in things like clearing land and planting crops.
This made them lower their guard.
With the other party's funding, a considerable amount of grain was purchased, allowing the people to have a bowl of thin porridge to fill their stomachs every day and regain some strength.
With the help of merchants, a lot of fertile land was reclaimed.
Later, it was proposed that Chun Yuan allocate the wasteland left behind by the fleeing people, and Chun Yuan agreed without much thought.
That's the mistake we made.
The other party used various means to turn all these wastelands into fertile fields, and then found a way to put them all under Chun Yuan's name.
This is a disaster. Chun Yuan, for his own selfish gain, has annexed a large amount of land.
The truth is that the merchant framed Chun Yuan, and it had nothing to do with the Heaven and Earth Society.
Later, Chun Yuan's affairs were reported by merchants, and the imperial court sent people to investigate. As a result, letters between her and the Heaven and Earth Society were found in her home.
The villagers who reclaimed the land and the merchants were also found to be members of the Heaven and Earth Society.
With this conclusive evidence, Chun Yuan was unable to defend himself and was directly identified as a traitor who secretly colluded with the Heaven and Earth Society.
Therefore, without any suspense, Chun Yuan was escorted to the capital for a joint trial by the three judicial authorities.
He was sentenced to exile.
The next prefect to take office was a person sent by the imperial court, but it is said that this person was a descendant of the former Wei state.
Although these descendants of the Wei Kingdom had no direct connection with the Heaven and Earth Society, they shared the same goal.
