The servants had seen those officials traveling with chariots and horses, but this was the first time they saw this one coming on a donkey.
Unconventional?
It's too unconventional.
In fact, this was purely because Xie Yuan didn't like riding horses and felt that the little donkey was very comfortable, so he was too lazy to change his travel mount.
But in the eyes of others, some felt that he was pretending to be poor to gain fame - he clearly owns the entire Jiangnan grain industry and is the head of this industry, but he acts like he can't even sit in a carriage. You are like this
It's not about fishing for fame or reputation.
Some people think that Xie Yuan is free and easy and informal - dignitaries and aristocrats usually travel by chariot or horseback. It is rare that Xie Yuan is like this.
The servant came out, touched his nose and bowed to Xie Yuan, saying that Xie Yong was lingering on the sick bed and could not see him.
Xie Yuan handed the reins of the little donkey to the servant, and then said warmly: "I heard that Chang Shi is ill, and today I brought the doctor to check for pulse. Please show me the way."
The servant's eyes twitched and he wanted to speak again, but he saw Huo Qubing inadvertently pulling out the sword on his waist.
His heart trembled, and he hurriedly took Xie Yuan and the doctor in.
Everyone went straight to Xie Yong's yard, and heard someone's groaning all the way away.
"This person is lingering on the sick bed, and his voice is so rich and powerful, but he is really weak." A flash of ridicule flashed in Huo Qubing's eyes.
The servant laughed sarcastically, announced inside, and opened the door to everyone: "My lord is inside, but he is afraid that his illness will spread to the governor. Take a look, governor..."
The implication is that I don’t want Xie Yuan to go in.
"It doesn't matter, I grew up in the wilderness. I have seen corpses, but they are just sick people." Xie Yuan smiled slightly.
Servant: "...Everyone, please."
Why does it feel like the governor is cursing his lord?
Xie Yuan entered with the doctor and Huo Qubing, and saw Xie Yong lying on the bed, groaning.
He coughed and the powder on his face fell down.
Huo Qubing: "..."
He was pretending to be sick and even had pearl powder on him.
A waste of natural resources.
Xie Yuan looked at the person on the couch and remembered his identity.
This Xie Yong was a son of the Xie family in Chen County. He was first promoted to be the chief historian of Lujiang County after his weak title. Because he was able to please the upper class, he was promoted to be the chief history officer of the former Yangzhou governor.
Relying on this long historian, he has amassed money and oppressed the people for many years. He relied on the gentry behind them to dominate, and also helped other gentry to suppress the people.
Xie Yuan gathered his thoughts and looked at the doctor: "Xie Changshi is ill, please ask the doctor to check his pulse."
The government doctor had long since realized that Xie Yong actually had nothing serious and was just pretending.
Xie Yuan obviously saw it, but he still let him continue to feel his pulse. This meant that he was not sick but also found out whether he was sick.
The doctor knew that Xie Yuan was supported by the Cui family and the Huo family, and that he was the head of a poor family. He did not dare to disobey him, so he immediately went over to check his pulse.
After some pretense, the doctor said in a deep voice: "Chang Shi's illness seems to be a difficult and complicated disease. I'm afraid he will be in bed all year round."
Xie Yong: “??”
Wang Defa?
He just pretended to be sick. How could he really pretend to be sick?
The medical treatment in this government is fake!
"You...you quack doctor..." Xie Yong coughed and pointed at the government doctor tremblingly, "I just have an ordinary cold, and you actually said that I have a complicated disease!"
Although this was a fake treatment for someone, a government doctor who had been practicing medicine for many years would not allow others to talk about him like this.
Then he immediately lowered his face and said: "I come from a family of medicine. I have been studying the art of Qihuang since I was a child. I think I am worthy of my ancestors. I never make mistakes in diagnosis and pulse inquiry. How can a long history say that I am a quack doctor?"
The serious face of the doctor made Xie Yong stunned and began to doubt his life.
Is he really sick?
Is it really a difficult disease?
What did you eat?
Or is there something wrong with his health regimen?
Xie Yong was about to ask when he heard Xie Yuan speak in a warm voice: "Chang Shi has worked hard and made great achievements. I allow you to recuperate at home and let the government doctors see you for free. But now that Chang Shi is lingering on the sickbed, what should be done by Chang Shi will be done by someone else."
Bar."
The implication is that you are sick and can't do what you should have done for a long time, and you can't sit in the toilet without shit, so let someone else do it.
In other words, Xie Yuan wanted to remove him from his official position.
Xie Yong has been working for so many years, and he is only one step away from going to Jiankang to squeeze into the center of the imperial court like the former governor of Yangzhou.
How could he be dismissed from his official position at this juncture?
No, absolutely not!
Xie Yong felt anxious and quickly got down and knelt on the ground. He bowed to Xie Yuan and said, "You can't be the governor! I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and a three-year-old child below me. They are all supported by me alone! If I lose my official position,
, how should a lowly official support his family?"
After saying that, he covered his face and cried bitterly.
Oh, threaten him with filial piety.
The smile in Xie Yuan's eyes grew even bigger, he pulled Xie Yong up and patted his shoulder——
"What is this that Chang Shi said - I am short of everything except money. If you are unable to support your family, I will allocate some money from my salary to your home every year. I, my retainers, are all waiting for you.
, you also have to support your family, so during this period of history, you should pack up your fine clothes and return home."
Xie Yong: "..."
The implication of Xie Yuan's words is that if I give you money, you should resign when you should, so you don't know what is good and what is bad.
When you talk about filial piety, it seems like he won't talk about filial piety.
Xie Yong still wanted to speak, but Xie Yuan had already taken out the deposed document and took away Xie Yong's official uniform and official seal.
"..."
Damn, this has been prepared for a long time.
Xie Yuan has long thought of deposing him!
After being dismissed from his official post by Xie Yuan and hearing that he was going to move out of the mansion, Xie Yong went from pretending to crying to actually crying.
This mansion was paid for by the government for Chang Shi to live in.
Since you are no longer a long history, naturally you cannot live there.
Moreover, the servants here are all bought with money from the public, and you cannot take them away.
Except for personal items, Xie Yong could not take away anything bought with public money.
This time Xie Yong was completely stunned.
He originally wanted to stay put, but Xie Yuan directly gave him twenty floggings on the grounds of obstructing official duties and disobeying his superiors.
After receiving a beating, Xie Yong covered his swollen buttocks and left with his servant and Xinrou.
After deposing Xie Yong from his official position, Xie Yuan asked Huo Qubing to become a long history officer.
Later, he took the government doctor to the homes of several officials who pretended to be sick and were unwilling to come to the residence to work.
It is also called a visit.
However, these subordinate officials had already heard about Xie Yong, and all of them went to work at the governor's mansion before Xie Yuan visited.
Hey, I'm in good health, I'm here to work, you can't catch me.
If you dare to dismiss me as an official, I will accuse you of not being filial and will ruin your reputation.
It's a beautiful idea for a poor and humble man to want to take care of the affairs of the noble family.
Xie Yuan was fine with this, but Huo Qubing couldn't stand the ugly faces of those people.
