The Bohai incident is not what makes Zhou Zhong scratch his head the most. How to deal with Mrs. Liu is the only way to deal with it.
Yuan Mai was underage and could not make any decisions. The one who could make decisions was either Yuan Xi or Mrs. Liu. Yuan Xi was originally a guilty person, but he finally got rid of the crime for merit. If he became a sinner because of this incident, the loss would be too great.
But there is also a problem with defining Mrs. Liu as the chief offender.
Mrs. Liu is not a gentleman or a gentleman. No one can guarantee that she is willing to admit the chief offender. After all, she firmly denied it during the interrogation.
If she was scolded and even without asking for permission, she was named the chief criminal without confession, and not to mention whether the emperor would be satisfied, Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao might not agree.
Liu Yao was once an ally of Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shao is dead, and Liu Yao has also surrendered to the court. Zhou Zhong is unsure whether he is willing to sacrifice his sister's life for Yuan Xi.
If Liu Yao is dissatisfied and makes the matter a big deal, the Sikong Mansion will not be able to convince the public.
Before, the emperor fought against the three dukes and could still turn the blame on the emperor. Now that the emperor has returned to the three dukes, there is no reason to try to shirk responsibility, and Zhou Zhong dared not do so.
Zhou Zhong was in a dilemma, so worried that his hair, which was not rich, was sparse and could not even bear the hairpin.
In desperation, Zhou Zhong had to ask his wife to come forward and discuss with Mrs. Yuan, hoping that Mrs. Yuan could mediate and ask Mrs. Liu to plead guilty. Or ask Yuan Heng to come forward and ask the emperor to issue a kind edict to pardon Mrs. Liu.
What Zhou Zhong did not expect, Mrs. Yuan simply rejected his proposal.
She neither wanted to persuade Mrs. Liu to plead guilty nor wanted to ask Yuan Heng to come forward.
Please find a way to solve the Sikong Mansion’s affairs.
Zhou Zhong was so angry that he cursed, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and find a way.
After thinking about it, he thought the best way was to quit.
This is really not something that humans do. It is too difficult to be compliant and legal, but also to satisfy the emperor.
The biggest difficulty is the emperor. If the emperor is not watching, this matter is actually easy to solve. Whether it is to force Mrs. Liu to confess her guilt or to let her go, he has many ways to do it.)
But if the emperor is watching, no one of those methods can be used.
Zhou Zhong complained to Yang Biao several times about this.
Yang Biao could only express sympathy, which is the dilemma of Confucianism. Sometimes it is impossible to have both laws and human hearts, or even completely opposite.
This size is difficult to grasp.
Adhering to the law will hurt the truth and become a cruel official. Adhering to the hearts of the people will make the law a decoration, allowing more people to find reasons to be selfish.
In contrast, Situ was more relaxed and just did things seriously.

Wang Jiang and Qin Mi stood on the sea boat, looking at the dark clouds gradually accumulating in the distance, their faces were ugly.
Even if they have not left the sea, they can feel that the wind and waves cannot be watched casually. If the sea boat capsizes, there will be no place to hide in the vast sea.
"This time you and I won't die in the line of duty, right?" Wang Jiang said. Although he was joking, he laughed even worse than crying.
Qin Mi was younger and more courageous after all. He smiled. "I heard that when Gan Ying was sent to the Great Qin Dynasty and returned to Tiaozhi West Sea, he was frightened and thought the wind and waves were too high to cross. Later he found out,
That was just a businessman who wanted to make money for me, and he did not want my Han and Qin to go directly to trade with me."
Wang Jiang rolled his eyes. "Is these two comparable?"
"Sir, you and I are not the first one from Qingzhou to cross the sea and reach Zhongshan. I have asked that so far, there is no record of this new sea ship capsized."
"Oh, that's how it is." Wang Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Mi smiled and said nothing.
Of course he wouldn't tell Wang Jiang that this new type of sea ship had just been delivered to the sea, and it was the second time that he encountered this situation. As for whether the last storm was bigger than this one, no one could say.
The storms and clouds on the sea are changing, and only when the wind and waves pass can we know whether it is life or death in the end.
Judging from the reactions of the sailors on the ship, the storm was still very dangerous. The sails had been put down and the mast was also put down. The captain was hoarsely directing the sailors to put down the anchor ingots, and huge iron chains were sinking.
Into the surging waves, hope
Can fix the sea boat.
A middle-aged man came over with two strange vests in his hand.
"Please put on life jackets, two adults."
"Life jacket?" Wang Jiang looked at the bright red vest and was confused. "Can this thing save your life?"
"Yes, if you fall into the water, this clothing can be guaranteed to float on the water surface, and the bright colors will make it easier for passing ships to discover you."
"Will we fall into the water?" Wang Jiang's face changed drastically.
"It's just that possible." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Although this is our first time going to sea, this type of sea ship has already gone to sea for trial sailing many times. He has encountered greater storms than this, but has not yet fallen.
.The reason why I am more cautious is that I consider that adults are not familiar with the sea situation and will inevitably panic and prevent it."
After saying that, he unfolded his life jacket, helped Wang Jiang put it on, tied up his straps, and carefully checked it. When he turned around to help Qin Mi put it on, he found that Qin Mi had already put it on. He couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction and nodded in greeting.
Go down quickly)
Although the sea ship had begun to shake greatly, he was still steady.
On the other hand, Wang Jiang and Qin Mi had already been unable to stand firm and could only grab the things next to them.
The middle-aged man went downstairs and met the captain head-on.
"How are the two officials?" the captain raised his chin and asked with a bit of joking.
"The old one is not good, the young one is okay. Although he is nervous, he has not lost his composure. I heard that he is a talented person who is favored by the emperor, but now it seems that it should be right."
"Will he be the next Grand Grand Lu?"
"I don't know whether it's the next one, but his official position will not be low in the future." The middle-aged man said: "Young and knowledgeable, and courageous. Such a person will not be subordinates for a long time. If the emperor appreciates it, except for the old god.
, No one dared to block his way."
The captain nodded. "Since that's the case, then you should use more snacks. If you can make good relationships, there will be benefits in the future."
"Here."
The captain turned around, looked at the wind and waves that had already pounced in front of him, and murmured something, but the wind was too loud and the middle-aged man couldn't hear it clearly.
The strong wind roared with heavy rain, making people unable to open their eyes.
Qin Mi was in the cabin, looking at the sea outside through the closed window, nervous and a little inexplicably excited.
He was surprised to find that there was actually a piece of glazed glass on the window. Although this glazed glass was not flat enough and the scene was a bit distorted, such expensive items were actually used on the sea boat, which was enough to show that the sea boat was expensive and its performance must be excellent enough.
It can allow confidence to cross the sea in danger of wind and waves.
Xunzi once said that a gentleman is not a different nature, but is good at using things. Unfortunately, later Confucian scholars have never attached enough importance to Xunzi's academic studies and have not understood this sentence deeply enough.
It was not until the emperor attached importance to practical learning and advocated that all the people were scholars that this principle was truly implemented. Now they can not only cross the sea with boats, but also ride the wind and waves.
