112 I was a county magistrate in the Great Qing Dynasty
Why am I here?
At this moment, it was the time of Kangxi's prosperity, I seemed to have had a long dream, and after waking up from the dream, I was dressed in a nine-grade official mansion.
"Master, are you awake?" I looked at the woman in front of the bed in amazement, who was she, why was she sitting in front of my bed?
"Oh, ma'am, how long have I been asleep?" was strange, casually calling out a "ma'am". The woman smiled meekly at me and replied, "Master, you have only been asleep for two hours. ”
At this time, a messenger walked in and said, "Report to your lordship, someone is beating a drum in the lobby to complain!"
That's right, I just remembered that I was the champion of the imperial examination in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi. Now that I am the county magistrate of a certain county, I said to the yacha: I am ready to go to the court to ask the case!
Since I became the county commander, I have always regarded the people as my relatives, loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and determined to be a Qing official.
Above the county government hall, it seems to be very lively today, two rows of yamen stand in the lobby in two rows, just waiting for me to go to the hall to ask the case.
I quickened my pace to the top of the lobby and sat down on the desk.
"Ascension!" I snapped a shot, and there was silence in the lobby.
"Who is playing the drum?" bring it to the hall and wait for Lord Ben to ask!" I finished speaking, and the yacha brought an old man.
The old man knelt tremblingly in front of the hall, not daring to look up at me.
"Old man, now is a harmonious society, please get up and speak!" I said casually.
As soon as he had said this, the officials looked at me in astonishment, and I was amazed at what I saw on their faces.
"My lord, is this a harmonious society?" the master asked me tentatively.
I laughed, hahaha......
"Lord Ben is just joking with you, so let the old man kneel and answer! Let me ask you, who are you accusing?"
The old man replied resignedly: "The grass people heard that the adults were upright and selfless, so they came to complain, hoping that the adults would be the masters of the grass people!"
I said, "Old man, who are you going to sue?"
The old man cried and said, "I want to sue Suo Etu!"
There was silence in the lobby, and the air instantly froze.
So, so, Suo, So, I asked.
"My lord, Lord Suo forcibly abducted my daughter earlier today, regardless of the life or death of the grass people's family!
In today's imperial court, there are few people who dare to argue with Suo Etu, let alone my small county order. However, as the parent official of the people, I can't see death without help, and I can't forget my original intention of being an official.
"Don't worry, old man, Lord Ben will give you justice, you can go home and wait for my news, okay?" I said with good words.
The old man kowtowed to me again and again. "Thank you, Lord Qingtian!"
How should this be good? How should I seek justice for the old man? Suo Etu is an important minister of the imperial court, and he holds great power, and if I want to fight him, I will undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg.
After thinking about it, this matter is a matter of life and death for the people, and this official must not stand idly by. So I decided to take the risk of cutting off my head and prepare to enter the capital to face the saint, according to the practice of the imperial court, the county order cannot directly face the saint. Now, I said that the emperor was going to summon me, and I would talk about it after seeing the emperor first.
After four days and four nights of tiring travel, I finally arrived in Bauhinia City.
I was stopped by the royal guards in yellow vests.
"What for?"
"The lower officials are ordered to see the driver, and they are tired and accommodating!"
The guard was expressionless and continued to ask, "Is there a holy decree?"
I whispered to the guards: "The emperor's secret decree must not be easily revealed, and it is easy to work and be accommodating!"
Finally deceived the guards and entered Bauhinia City. This is the first time since I entered the palace as an official, and I was both nervous and excited.
From more than eight o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. Along the way, he was interrogated eighty-one times, and a lie was told eighty-one times, and he felt thirsty.
"Hey, what are you doing?" asked me, a whimsy.
"Tell my father-in-law, I am ordered to see the driver, and my father-in-law is tired!" the eunuch glared at me and walked towards the majestic hall.
After a quarter of an hour or so, I heard someone shouting, "The emperor let you in!"
It's so perfect, the emperor actually wants to see me, I slapped myself twice, I can feel the pain, it's true!
I lowered my head all the way and followed my father-in-law in.
When I looked up, I saw an old man holding a book in his hand, eating and reading at the same time.
"What are you doing standing stupidly!, come and see the emperor!" said my father-in-law.
I fell to my knees with a puff, long live my emperor, long live, long live!
"Flat!" said a deep voice. I never dared to look up and look at him a second time, this deep voice didn't speak, I slowly looked up at him, and Emperor Kangxi stared at me at this time.
"It's not a small courage! Jiupin County Decree dares to falsely preach the Holy Decree!"
I immediately fell to my knees.
"The lower officials deserve to die for their crimes! Please give the emperor the guilt! It's just that the lower officials have a matter to report to the emperor, and when I finish speaking, the emperor will break my body into ten thousand pieces, and I am willing to do it!"
"That's it, talk about you!" said the emperor.
"Xiaguan wants to impeach Lord Suo Etu, he disregarded the suffering of the people, and forcibly accepted a woman in the Xiaguan jurisdiction as a concubine, please ask the emperor to find out!"
The emperor said, "You actually want to impeach my abbot, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
I prayed: "The lower officials have put life and death out of the way, as long as they can redress the grievances of the people, it is not a pity for the lower officials to die!"
Hahaha, hahaha.
The emperor smiled, and he said with a smile: "Good official, if all my officials are like you, then how powerful the Great Qing Kingdom should be!"
He continued: "Okay, let's get flat!"
He circled around me several times, and then said to me, "I believe what you say, but think for me, what can I do to my ruler?"
I thought about it, but I didn't know how to respond.
The emperor continued to say to me: "My good official! It's hard to be an emperor, in fact, I know that my lord is dealing with me, and he is definitely not as clean as he said, but I still have to use him!
The emperor sighed and said to the eunuchs beside him: "Li Dequan, Xuan Suo Etu entered the palace to see the driver!"
The eunuch hurried out.
