I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 704
"Master Song, I didn't expect you to come to Yingzhou at this time. Why don't you let me know first, so I can welcome you along the way."

In Yingzhou Chengti Academy, Song Mu came here early in the morning of the second day, and a few distinguished guests in red robes came to the house.

These people are the magistrates of Yingzhou and a group of officials in charge, and they came in a hurry early in the morning. Naturally, they got the news yesterday that Song Mu, a great scholar, had arrived in Yingzhou quietly, so they all came to visit with gifts. .

Song Mu's current status as a university scholar already had a detached status in the Wen Dynasty. Even in Chang'an, ordinary Jinshi and Hanlin would respectfully salute when they saw it, and local officials were even more trembling when they saw it. This kind of person is offended.

Song Mu was calm when faced with the visit from the officials of Yingzhou. After all, the power in this world is always absolute, and seeing everyone early in the morning of the second day was naturally Song Mu's instruction from Song Huaitong.

Song Huaitong has been an official outside the country for many years, and Gu Shifan has taken care of him on the side of the water transport, and his official career has been smooth, but he was suddenly promoted to this state to study, left his original place, and faced some unfamiliar work situations. Encountering such a series of things, I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Although the promotion is considered good news, but Song Mu saw that his son was so physically and mentally exhausted after taking office, but he also had a different opinion on this in his heart.

During the intercourse between the Wen Dynasty, if you are not an honest official, you have to work hard all the time, or if you seem to have a plump body, you have to be a corrupt official.

When Song Mu was an official in the past, he often taught his sons to be able to face difficulties, to be an official, to do their best, and to have a clear conscience.

Song Huaitong did so, but turned into the current embarrassed appearance, but Song Mu felt that there must be something hidden in it.

Perhaps the officials in Yingzhou were secretly ostracizing Song Huaitong.

The position of mentioning education is in charge of local education, and most of the rest are icing on the cake, but in this Yingzhou, the beast tide and the harvest of the crops are piled up on Song Huaitong one after another, and the titles used are just right. It was difficult for Song Huaitong to refuse for a while, and Song Mu was naturally quite critical of this.

In this world, family members are absolutely forbidden to Song Mu. Although Song Mu will not spoil him, if he sees injustice, he will naturally show the majesty of a father.

Today, Song Mu is going to explain this matter to Song Huaitong. For this reason, Song Mu and Song Huaitong have talked about it in advance.

Now that the magistrate of Yingzhou and others have arrived, Song Mu just calmly offered him a seat in the courtyard. Hearing that he hadn’t eaten breakfast, he praised the officials for their hard work and ordered them to have a simple breakfast in the courtyard. After that, not talking.

A group of officials naturally did not dare to refuse indiscriminately, they just exchanged glances slightly, and then sat awkwardly in this courtyard.

They intend to ease the atmosphere, but what they are facing is a grand scholar, and the invisible oppression hits them all the time, making them entangled and giving up.

"I came here this time, and only then did I know that my son has become a student in Yingzhou. I'm really surprised. I heard that you also have your support. Song thanked you."

Suddenly Song Mu said this, and everyone raised their heads one after another, but they saw Song Mu serving tea and drinking water, and at the moment he was about to hand over his hands, but he froze in place again.

Seeing that the topic was on Song Huaitong, everyone's eyes were exchanged immediately. These officials were actually a little surprised that Song Huaitong was promoted to Yingzhou to teach.

Many people were staring at this position, but they never thought that the former student had just begged for bones, and the military officer of Huainan Road sent an order to be promoted to the post of water transport envoy in Yingzhou. .

And they couldn't say anything about this order, because Zhizhou heard from the subordinate of the recorder, Can Junzan, that Song Huaitong's promotion this time was actually an opinion given by the Ministry of Officials.

And thinking that this year the Song family had a second place in the list, the world-famous Song Mu who hadn't seen him in ten years was born again, and he had already reached the level of a bachelor, which made the officials even more afraid to say anything.

For this reason, they tried Song Huaitong, trying to win him over, but found that this person was too upright, and even publicly refuted the ruling of other chief officials. .

Although he didn't dare to really do anything to Song Huaitong, but in addition to his political achievements, he used some secret means.

With all the praise, the officials of Yingzhou put many things on Song Huaitong. They wanted to make him bow his head at this critical moment, at least learn some rules later, but they didn't expect Song Mu to come suddenly.

This also made them feel a little urgent, and this is the first time they came to visit early in the morning with their things.

Seeing that Song Mu didn't speak at this moment, these people felt a little uneasy, and the prefect of Yingzhou gritted his teeth and cupped his hands when he saw this.

"My lord's words made me very flattered. Brother Siyuan was promoted to study in Yingzhou. That is brother Siyuan's hard work and encouragement of the people. It is the aspiration of the people and is also valued by His Majesty. We also look forward to governing Yingzhou together with brother Siyuan. People are looking forward to it.”

As soon as the words came out, the others also bowed their hands and nodded. At this moment, all faces were sincere, and Song Huaitong also stood up suddenly.

Song Mu's face was naturally relaxed, and he was also smiling at the moment and bowed his hands to everyone.

"That's a good thing, to be honest, I came here yesterday, Zhuo Jing saw that Huai Tong worked so hard and couldn't sleep well all night, it's Song who was worrying too much."

How can a scholar be so superficial? Song Mu said so, and all the officials of Yingzhou were suddenly stunned. At that moment, Nazhizhou came out and said apologetically.

"I have neglected this matter. The city is busy these days, and I rely on Brother Siyuan to share my worries, but now the situation is clear, and we can no longer treat Brother Siyuan like this."

Saying this, Zhizhou asked some officials nearby about his affairs, and took back those who had nothing to do with Song Huaitong.

And Song Huaitong stood up again at this moment, helping Zhizhou to speak, and talking about the recent literary society, he hoped that he could do it himself.

And speaking of this, Song Mu immediately looked at the crowd and said.

"I also heard that Huai Tong talked about this essay meeting. I don't know what your lords are planning?"

"My lord, because of the beast horde and the recent weather changes, I have been planning for a few days to hold a rain-dispelling literary meeting, which will also boost my literary spirit in Yingzhou."

Song Mu took a sip of tea, nodded slightly and said.

"This matter is very good. At this time, the Wenhui will be of great use to the common people, and Song has caught up."

When Na Zhizhou heard this, his expression lit up immediately, and he cupped his hands and said.

"My lord said this, I have an unfeeling request from the lower officials, I wonder if I can invite my lord to participate in this literary meeting?"

"My lord is famous far and wide, and I, the students and common people in Yingzhou, all love you very much."

Song Mu smiled at the moment, and this time he stood up and cupped his hands and said.

"Then Song is naturally disrespectful. Speaking of which, the boundary of Yingzhou is also a place of interest. It is the place where the Three Kingdoms fought in ancient times. Song also took this opportunity to appreciate the spirit of a hero."

As soon as these words came out, several officials changed their restraint, and at the moment they looked happy, and said to Song Mu again and again.

"Then I will wait for your lord to attend. This time, my Yingzhou Cultural Association will surely become famous all over the world."

It was a few more simple exchanges. When the officials entered the door, they looked worried, but at the moment they were strutting with indescribable joy.

In the courtyard, Song Huaitong, who had sent all the officials out, hurried back and said to Song Mu at this moment.

"Father, are you taking off your horse today, or let me and them..."

"Huaitong, you are wrong. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. These officials are not pedantic, they just want peace of mind."

Song Mu got up and looked at Song Huaitong, and said earnestly at this moment.

"You suddenly became the head of a state. These people don't know anything about you, so they will naturally do something. How can they leave with satisfaction?"

"That's because they can get some fame from being a father, and you can also say something for them, which relieves their embarrassment."

"From now on, you have to keep in mind that right and wrong should not be judged and acted on. If you learn to judge the situation, the official path can be long."

"After all, what you have in your heart is always the people of this place."

Song Huaitong also paused when he heard this, but finally nodded slightly, but he heard Song Mu speak again.

"Huaitong, there is still a long way to go, if you are really embarrassed, you might as well go home."

"For the benefit of the common people in this world, being an official is second, and Wen Dao is the first."
