Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After Kang Hai ranked second in the rankings, his reputation became fierce.

Liu Jin is from Xingping County, Shaanxi Province. He is from the same town as Kang Hai and has heard about Kang Hai's talent, so he tries to win Kang Hai as an accomplice. Kang Hai has been refusing to meet Liu Jin.

It just so happened that Li Mengyang, another fellow from Shaanxi, drafted a memorial to impeach Liu Jin on behalf of Shangshu Hanwen. After the incident was exposed, Liu Jin charged Li Mengyang with other crimes, arrested him and put him in prison, ready to be executed.

Li Mengyang knew that Liu Jin valued Kang Hai, so in order to survive, he handed Kang Hai a note from prison with the words "Save me from the mountain" written on it.

"Duishan" is Kang Hai's nickname.Kang Hai is duty-bound, although he has always refused to go to Liu Jin's door, but for the sake of his friends, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and pay respects to Liu Jin.

When Liu Jin heard that Kang Hai came to ask for an audience, she was overjoyed, and hurried out to greet her. When she checked in, she was in such a hurry that she didn't even wear her shoes properly, so she ran out to greet her with her shoes on, and regarded Kang Hai as a guest of honour.In front of Liu Jin, Kang Hai defended Li Mengyang in many ways. Liu Jin wanted to win Kang Hai over, so he released Li Mengyang the next day because of Kang Hai.

Liu Jin was executed by the imperial court for the crime of treason, and the imperial court investigated Liu Jin's case. Kang Hai was listed as an accomplice and demoted to the people because of his past relationship with Liu Jin.At this time, Li Mengyang, who had been restored to his original post, not only did not stab his friend who had saved his life, but turned his head against him and framed him for jealousy.

Li Mengyang and Kang Hai are both one of the seven sons of the poetry circle, and they are the leading figures in the literary world with a respected status.Unlike Kang Hai, who has only been an official for a few years, Li Mengyang has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and his grade is quite high.

It would be easy for him to overthrow Kang Hai.

As for why Li Mengyang wanted to avenge his kindness, Su Mu also analyzed it after he came down.In front of outsiders, this Li Mengyang is also known for being upright and upright, especially after beating Zhang Heling, the uncle of the country, he is also a clear representative of the civil official group.

However, when Liu Jin was arrested and imprisoned last time and was about to be executed, Li Mengyang was afraid, so he wrote to Kang Hai for help.I hope he can use his relationship with Liu Jin as a fellow villager to intercede.

If this matter gets out, it will greatly damage Li Mengyang's reputation.

In order to keep this secret, Li Mengyang simply killed Kang Hai and kicked him out of the officialdom.

Ordinarily, if Kang Hai really wanted to investigate, he would be able to find out clearly.It's a pity that when Kang Hai presided over the rural examination in Jiangxi, he was too clean and honest as an official, and he offended the local rich people all over the place.

And Jiangxi was the largest imperial examination province in the Ming Dynasty with the highest number of champions and scholars. A small half of the officials of the six ministries of the court and the candidates in Beijing who were waiting for the examination were from Jiangxi.

Offending the big clan in Jiangxi can be said to have offended half of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view alone, Kang Hai is completely hopeless.

Even if Su Mu wanted to help, he was powerless and could only sigh secretly.Everyone has their own personality, if it was him, Su Mu, who went to Jiangxi to be the chief examiner, how could it end like this?

Now, Su Mu can only send a letter to the local officials in Shaanxi, asking them to take care of Kang Hai. As a friend, there is only so much he can do.

The yamen of the six ministries have replaced many newcomers. It is estimated that the turmoil in the court will take a while to calm down.

Therefore, Su Mu's appointment to the Ministry of War as a servant was put on hold.

According to Su Mu's prediction, it will take at least a year to talk about it.

Two years away from home, it was rare to have such a long vacation, Su Mu simply didn't care about anything.Either gathering with friends in the officialdom and the literary world, or studying at home with his wife and children.

Nannan was officially considered a daughter by Mrs. Wu, and she loved this clever girl from the bottom of her heart, so she personally took on the task of teaching Nannan.Every day, I will hold a class at home to give lectures to my daughter.

Mrs. Wu's talent and learning are already higher than that of Su Mu's second tune, and the teaching effect is much better.

At the same time, Xie Ziran also ran over, ostensibly to listen to the teacher's teachings, but actually looking for an opportunity to meet her daughter.

It's just that this is the capital, and the Su family's rules are there, so it's not easy to meet your daughter.

Only when Mrs. Wu is giving a lecture can he talk to Nannan.

Mrs. Wu's knowledge is so high, it naturally shocked him.I sighed in my heart: my teacher's knowledge has reached such a high level, I didn't expect my teacher's wife to be more profound than my teacher, and there are such people in this world!

Treat Mrs. Wu, Xie naturally respects her as a teacher and as a mother.

Madam Wu was also quite satisfied with her possible future son-in-law, she only told Su Mu that this man had good knowledge and character, but he was too murderous, like a soldier, a gentry and a local tyrant.

Su Mu laughed, he originally planned to arrange for Xie Ranran to join the army.Although the status of a soldier is not high, it is easy to get credit. If he is awarded a title in the future, he will be honored. Wouldn't it be better than getting seniority in the civil service group.

Of course, he never said this to his wife.

After a while, it was strange these few days, Xie Ziran hadn't been to Su Mu's place to pay his respects for two days, which made the listening daughter feel uneasy.

When Mrs. Wu talked about this, Su Mu said casually: "Xie Junfu is just a young man, and he is proud of his youth. There must be a lot of entertainment outside, Madam, there is no need to worry."

Mrs. Wu thought so deeply: "It's just my daughter..."

Just as he was about to make a few jokes, Zhao Hulu came to report that Master Xie had come to pay his respects to the Eldest Master.

Su Mu smiled: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there."

When he saw Xie Ziran, Su Mu was startled.I haven't seen him for a few days, but I saw that Xie Ziran smelled of alcohol all over his body, his eyes were full of red threads, and he looked very sloppy.

Su Mu was a little angry, and said with a sullen face: "When you are young, you have to take care of your body. You must have indulged in your sensuality outside these few days, making a fool of yourself?"

Xie Ranran hastily said: "The teacher misunderstood the student, Xie Ranran always remembered the teacher's teachings, how could he indulge himself, really, really..."

"What is it?"

Hearing Su Mu's question, Xie Ranran had a look of indignation: "It's really Huang Dong's thieves who are too hateful. If it wasn't for the reason that he was with the students, I would have to pluck his feathers this time."

Xie is naturally a local tyrant, although he is regarded as a juren, he is not particular about his speech.

Probably because of Huang Dong's anger, he immediately swears.

Zhao Hulu next to him scolded: "Master Xie, Madam is here, please be careful with what you say."

Mrs. Wu smiled slightly and got up: "Master, you talk to Junfu, I will go to see my daughter first."

After Madam left, Su Mu asked, "What's going on, and what does it have to do with Huang Dong?"

Xie Ranran: "Then Huang Dong... that bird man came to find the student the day before yesterday, and asked his teacher if he had obtained many rare treasures in copying Liu Jin's mansion this time. He also said that after His Highness Taikang heard the news, he ordered him to come and ask Teacher, can you get the object of hope? If you have, let her open her eyes. The teacher is an upright official, and the world knows that Huang Dong is not angry? The students are impatient, so they say no. But if they don’t want to, then Huang Dong will pester Student. The student didn't want to give him a good look at first, but it's strange to say that this birdman didn't know where to find many scholars from Fengxiang Mansion in the capital, and they came to the student's house all day long for composition meetings and chatting. The students don't have to give Huang Dong face, but the fellow villagers have to."

"In the past few days, a group of Fengxiang Mansion's study seeds are at the students' homes, eating and living with the students, and the students are almost driven crazy by them."
