Just as Na Yancheng was reorganizing his army to prepare for war, Ruan Yuan's boat had already crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at Changzhou Mansion. After asking Sun Xingyan where he lived, the group went to visit him. Sun Xingyan was naturally happy to see Ruan Yuan, but Ruan Yuan was not.

Thinking that after seeing Jiao Xun, he was actually more excited than when he saw himself. It turned out that after Jiao Xun communicated with him several times, the two of them knew that the other person was good at academics and was rarely successful in academics. Jiao Xun

Sun Xingyan was proficient in "Book of Changes", while Sun Xingyan was proficient in "Book of Changes". The two of them enjoyed asking each other for advice.

During the lecture on Confucian classics, Jiao Xun also took the initiative to say to Sun Xingyan: "Brother Yuanru, I have heard from Boyuan before that he and you are very trustworthy friends. When Boyuan was admitted to Jinshi, the "Shangshu" was not

It was only with the guidance of Brother Yuanru that I was able to take the senior high school entrance examination. Therefore, when Bo Yuan talked about Brother Yuanru, he could not stop praising him for his knowledge and achievements. The same is true for me, I have always admired Brother Yuanru for his learning and practice.

Moreover, I am Bo Yuan's cousin-in-law. There are some things that Bo Yuan is a little too humble about. He has never dared to say this, so I will do it for him. Brother Yuan Ru, what Bo Yuan wants to do when he goes south this time is to be the governor of Zhejiang.

But brother Yuanru should also know that what Boyuan did before was all for the academic and political duties of the Hanlin Academy. This governor needs to be appointed, but he still needs someone to help him. Therefore, I also have a merciless request. I dare to ask Mr. Yuanru, what is this?

In the case of criminal law arresting robbers, can you please ask Brother Yuanru to come out and help Boyuan?"

Originally, Jiao Xun also thought that since Sun Xingyan was also a fourth-grade person, if he was asked to be Ruan Yuan's friend, he might have underestimated him. As soon as he said the words, he was also a little worried, for fear that he would not understand the importance and actually angered Sun Xingyan.

. But when looking at Sun Xingyan's expression, I felt that he was neither happy nor resentful, but rather thoughtful. After a moment, Sun Xingyan suddenly said: "Boyuan, when He Shen is about to kill you, you are..."

He is the Minister of Rites, I remember correctly, right?"

Ruan Yuan nodded, and Sun Xingyan said: "Bo Yuan, there are some things. I know that the imperial edict in Beijing will not be stated explicitly to people like me and other fourth-level Taoists. But I am a Taoist priest in Shandong, and the governor of Shandong, Yi Jiang,

, I know best that, like He Shen, he is a corrupt traitor and perverts the law. I heard that the emperor has issued an edict and dismissed the governor of Yijiang A, and I am also happy. But I have been an official under him for a long time, but

We also know that Heshen was extremely powerful, especially the forbidden travel in Beijing, and at least half of them were closely related to him. However, only five days after Emperor Gaozong died, the emperor captured Heshen and imprisoned him. If there is not one of them,

I don’t believe in all the careful arrangements. Before Bo Yuan, I remember that I also had the post of Nan Shufang. After He Shen was executed, Bo Yuan was repeatedly reused by the emperor. So I was thinking about He Shen’s matter, Bo Yuan, you

Are you also involved? If you are also involved, can you tell me what happened? For the sake of important affairs of the imperial court, I will never speak to anyone after leaving this door."

Ruan Yuan knew that Sun Xingyan wanted to break off diplomatic relations with him because he went to Hefu. Later, although Hong Liangji, Na Yancheng and others rectified the matter, this matter still became a worry in his heart. Later, the two of them took up foreign posts one after another.

Thousands of miles apart, I'm afraid Sun Xingyan still regrets it. Although he promised Jiaqing to keep this matter a secret, Sun Xingyan has already made it clear that it should be kept secret. If he wants to hide it from him anymore, he will lose the friendship of his friends. He then said: "Yuan

Brother Ru, in fact, you guessed it right. I was indeed involved in this matter. I tried my best to offer suggestions in front of the emperor, but I couldn't do it alone. He Shen was eliminated and the emperor took charge.

, it was because all the direct ministers in the court worked together to resist Heshen." After saying that, he also mentioned some of the most important things about the conspiracy with Jiaqing that night, the various changes in the imperial court officials afterwards, and the fact that Heshen was captured without any help.

He gave it to Sun Xingyan to listen to. Jiao Xun had never heard of these things before and couldn't help but be shocked for a moment. Although Sun Xingyan seemed calm as always, when he heard the key encirclement of the imperial palace, his body could not help but tremble slightly.

After hearing Ruan Yuan's narration, Sun Xingyan couldn't help but sigh again and again and said: "Bo Yuan, it seems that He Shen was able to be captured, and you took the greatest credit. I... I am ashamed to say that I am too narrow-minded.

, although I can understand the matter of your going to Hefu back then, I can never forget it. In this way, it is me who can't forgive you, and I should repay this favor. "

Ruan Yuan listened to his sincere words and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Yuanru, why are you doing this? You should also remember the longevity ceremony of Emperor Gaozong back then, right? After Brother Zhicun and I had an affair, I

I no longer think about this matter. I just regard Brother Yuanru as a good teacher and friend who taught me "Shangshu" and discussed classics and history with me. And since then, Brother Yuanru has never said a bad word about me. Brother Yuanru said

You want to repay my favor, but you don’t owe me anything?"

Sun Xingyan said: "Boyuan, I am also a person who knows the book, and I know the conscience in my heart. I have had doubts about you in my heart, because I can't live with you. In this way, I will come to your house to handle it.

These things are what I should do. But there is another matter in the capital, and I also want to know the truth. Brother Zhicun was sent to death row that day, and he was about to be executed, but in the end he was only sent to Yili. I don’t know if the emperor is responsible for this matter.

Does that mean, or... Boyuan also made some suggestions?"

"To be honest, I did advise the emperor on Brother Zhicun's matter, but the Emperor had no other words at that time. I think it was Prince Cheng who personally dissuaded him, so the Emperor forgave Brother Zhicun, right?" Ruan Yuan said with a smile.

Then, he also told Sun Xingyan what he had done to persuade Jiaqing that day, hoping that he would forgive Hong Liangji. However, he did not know about the subsequent conversation between Yongxuan and Jiaqing, and the appointment at Wanshou Temple, so he only mentioned that Yongxuan had also entered the palace.

, nothing else is mentioned.

But when Sun Xingyan listened, he was extremely excited. When Ruan Yuan finished speaking, he immediately stood up, bowed to Ruan Yuan and said, "Bo Yuan, brother Zhicun and I are from the same hometown. I have interacted with him many times when I was young.

, later entered the court and became an official, it has always been a life-long friendship. Since Bo Yuan also advised the emperor, it is natural that Brother Zhicun was able to survive because of your kindness. In this way, Brother Zhicun’s

It is my duty to repay his kindness and be worthy of the friendship we have had for more than twenty years. Bo Yuan, since Litang said that you are currently lacking a staff to help you, I have nothing to do as I stay idle and guard the system.

I am receiving a salary from the imperial court, so I should be diligent in state affairs. Now that Zhejiang is suffering from internal and external troubles, it is the time for me to devote myself wholeheartedly. Boyuan, if you are really short of people, I am willing to go to Hangzhou with you and help you with all my strength!"

Ruan Yuan was surprised and happy when he heard this. In fact, when Jiao Xun told him about Sun Xingyan, he also had the idea of ​​recruiting Sun Xingyan to join the staff. However, remembering that Sun Xingyan joined the official position two years earlier than himself and was a senior after all, he did not dare to suggest it rashly.

Let him enter the curtain, for fear of hurting the relationship between the two. When Jiao Xun told Sun Xingyan and the matter of entering the curtain, he was as uneasy as Jiao Xun. But he never thought that to eradicate He Shen and protect Hong Liangji, he was a man with lofty ideals in the world.

As expected, how could Sun Xingyan not be inspired by what he had done in Beijing? Therefore, recruiting Sun Xingyan to join the job was actually not only no longer difficult at this time, but actually a matter of course.

In addition to being excited, Ruan Yuan also hurriedly bowed to him and said: "Brother Yuanru, I really understand your thoughts. But after all, brother Yuanru entered the official position before me and has always been above me in talent. How can I do it because of that?"

By chance, the emperor has a higher official position than Brother Yuanru, so why don't you ask Brother Yuanru to serve as my curtain caller and perform the ceremony of guest of honor?"

"What did Boyuan say? Who stipulated that those who join the officialdom first can't be friends with those who join the officialdom later? Now I am keeping the system at home, but I have no official position. What's the difference between the first and the later?

Boyuan, please don't be humble, just say whether you need me to do something at the moment." Sun Xingyan has always been an honest person, and naturally he will not take back his previous words at this time.

"Bo Yuan, brother Yuan Ru, I have an idea." This time it was Jiao Xun who took the initiative to smooth things over for the two of them, saying: "Right now, Boyuan doesn't want brother Yuan Ru to be his guest, and brother Yuan Ru also wants to go to Hangzhou, for

I have put all my efforts into the matter in Hangzhou, so I have a compromise plan. Boyuan was a supervisor of schools in Hangzhou before, and he knew very well that Zhejiang students are the best in the world. Boyuan promoted them in many ways and found a lot of practical skills. But Uncle Yuan came out.

When I was supervising schools in the Yuan Dynasty, I always had some regrets. Hangzhou is a place rich in humanities and has many academies, which should have been a good thing. But at present, most of the scholars taught in various academies are limited to eight-legged poetry and essays, which are required for examinations. This way

After all, even if some students are interested in practical learning, how much progress can they make in such a utilitarian academy? So Boyuan has been thinking about building a new academy in Hangzhou, where stereotypes will not be taught, but eclectic and broad-based.

There should be someone who can teach the scholars, classics, history, arithmetic, astronomy, geography, and exegesis. Anyone who has learned something can become a talent. In this way, students in the world can be dedicated to practical learning, and ultimately benefit the world.

Ah. Brother Yuanru is giving lectures in Changzhou and Wuxi. Don’t you have this idea?" Sun Xingyan is usually good at academics and naturally knows a lot about this, so he nodded immediately.

Jiao Xun said again: "In this case, the most critical step in the construction of this academy is not the quality of the building or the convenience of the building. The most important thing at the moment is the person who teaches the lesson sincerely. Only the person who teaches can understand the scriptures.

Only with more practice can students from Zhejiang and Zhejiang make progress. Brother Yuanru is unparalleled in the art of Confucian classics. He is already unparalleled in Shangshu. He also served as the Ministry of Punishment in Beijing and was appointed as a Taoist priest in the province. Of course, it is not about the implementation.

Exit. So I have an unkind request, and I invite Brother Yuanru to be the lecturer at this academy. What does Brother Yuanru think? In this way, there is no nominal difference between Boyuan and Brother Yuanru as guest of honor. Besides Brother Yuanru giving the lecture,

Naturally, we can also help Boyuan on important matters in Zhejiang Province. It is a matter of killing two birds with one stone! But I don’t know what brother Yuan Ru wants?”

After hearing this, Sun Xingyan was naturally overjoyed and said: "It's just what I want! Bo Yuan, in this case, what else do you have to worry about? This lecture is what I want in my heart. Now I can do it for you while keeping the rules.

Doing my best in this academy is exactly what I should do in my life as a scholar. As for criminal law and water conservancy, Boyuan, I know you have never done these things before. If I have leisure, you can just find it.
