Feng Bao was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This kind of performance on the general strategy of governing the country, Gao Xinzheng actually showed it to his nephew at what age?" If it weren't for Gaoxin Zheng Mo being stunned, this kid would really be a prodigy in the world, and he would be so smart. However, a child is a child after all, no matter how smart he is, he can't understand these national affairs at this age, right? But if he can't understand it at all, what does Gao Xinzheng mean by this? ”

But the hesitation in his heart did not prevent him from making a smile on his face: "The old country of the Gaoge Dynasty is a pillar of the dynasty, and he is full of talents. Our family is only shallow in learning, I don't know if we are fortunate to hear about it, what are the eight evils, and how to get rid of them? ”

Gao pragmatic smiled and waved his hand slightly: "The factory supervisor is too modest." The eight evils mentioned in this omission are: first, 'bad law,' that is, misinterpreting the law, arbitrarily and severely; second, 'sloppy goods,' that is, selling official positions, and taking bribes; third, 'meanness,' that is, being ruthless and harsh, and making things difficult for the people; fourth, 'fighting for jealousy,' that is, striving for merit and blame, and squeezing out each other; fifth, 'prevarication,' that is, passing the buck and making no distinction between merit and crime; sixth, 'party comparison,' that is, forming gangs and factions, and fighting against differences; seventh, 'reluctance,' that is, following the blame and responding to stories; and eighth, 'floating rumors,' that is, there are many discussions and confusion between right and wrong. ”

Zhu Yijun was a little ignorant when he heard it, but Feng Bao's scalp was numb - he hit the nail on the head, but he didn't know how Gao Xinzheng planned to get rid of these eight evils? You must know that all of the above are old and old, the so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, to take these things to start, I am afraid that none of them are easy to deal with, and if you don't move casually, you will set off an uproar...... Well, it's no wonder that Gao Xinzheng didn't present it in the end.

Feng Baozheng felt that it seemed a little dangerous to continue to take this question, but Gao Pragmatic seemed to understand his worries, and continued to say to himself: "But there is no need to talk about the rest today, just talk about this second disadvantage - bad goods. ”

This time, Feng Bao is not so afraid - corruption, which dynasty and generation can be scolded, and he can be scolded boldly with confidence. No matter who it is, there is no need to worry too much about scolding corruption, even if it is a eunuch, scolding a corrupt official will not be regarded as a thorn in the side of the court. So this time, Governor Feng resolutely chose to continue to praise: "I have to consult Zhongxuan Gonggao." ”

Gao Pragmatic recalled a little and said: "There is a passage that says: Those who are famous and virtuous, scholars and gentlemen are self-reliant, and those who cannot be bad for a day are also self-reliant. The effect of self-budding is complementary, and the way of incorruptibility is mourned. Where righteousness lies, the yang uses its name and the yin violates the reality, and even the name and the reality are violated; Where the benefits are, the yin is used in fact and the yang is contrary to its name, and even the real and the name are used together. Those who enter the body take bribes as gifts, and those who are officials are qualified with goods. In vain, Zhuo Mao's words of affection are obedient, and Yang Zhen is afraid of the purpose of knowing. It is said that the habit of bad goods, and its flow is also two. ”

Feng Bao nodded again and again: "Zhongxuan Gong's words are extremely true. ”

Gao pragmatic said: "The third uncle once said to the boy: 'In recent years, right and wrong are not clear, and the discussion is reversed. The bribe-giver is not stricter, nor is the bribe-taker inspected, and the person who takes the bribe is deeply demanded. In this way, "the bribe-taker is not traced, but the bribe-taker is left behind; The bribe-taker calmly thinks that he has a plan, but the bribe-taker is stunned and has no shame; And the bribe-giver does it blatantly. In this regard, the third uncle once explained to me an example: Zhou Yude, who inspected the southern city to supervise the imperial history, sent firewood and charcoal to the merchants, and Yu Biao, a wealthy man, bribed Zhou, and sent his family Cao Xiong to post a hundred stones of white rice, hoping to be spared. Zhou immediately inquired about the reason, arrested Cao Xiong, and sent soldiers and horses to interrogate the guilt. Another example: Zhang Shipei, the inspector of Shandong Supervision Imperial History, was promoted, and for example, when he should be impeached, Chen Tiance, the magistrate of Qihe, offered Zhang a bribe of 150 taels of silver in the name of falsely delivering official documents, and sent it to his hometown for sponsorship. Zhang sent the bribe to the prosecutor and strictly investigated it. Another example: salt merchants Yang Dong and Li Lu issued a gift of 1,000 taels of silver, bribed Li Xueshi, the imperial history of the two Huai patrol salt inspectors, and sent them to Li's house, they were immediately seized by their families, and even the stolen goods were sent to the government for questioning. Zhou Yude, Zhang Shipei, and Li Xueshi should have been commended for their bribery, but at that time, they were deeply criticized and created all kinds of gossip. Some say that they are known for bribery, otherwise bribery is not easy; Some say that they bribe to cover up a bigger bribe; Some say that they have been known to accept bribes, and they are forced to do so. Some people even accused bribes for no reason. ”

Gao Pragmatic said this, in fact, he didn't get to the point, but Zhu Yijun was only eight years old after all, and his attention had been diverted, and he nodded again and again when he heard the words: "That's the truth, these people refuse to bribe, and they should indeed be praised, how can they be blamed?" It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”

Feng Bao's thinking was not easy to be led astoked, and he took over the conversation: "What about what according to the meaning of the Xuangong in the middle?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "According to the meaning of the third uncle, the disadvantages of 'bad goods' are the focus of the 'eight evils', and the 'bad goods' and 'bad laws' are actually closely related. Therefore, the countermeasure to eliminate the malpractice of corruption and perversion of the law is: 'There is no forgiveness for dancing and writing, so one law is obeyed; There is no forgiveness for greed, so there is no vulgarity'. ”

The truth is naturally this truth, but Feng Bao feels that this topic is getting farther and farther? So he asked, "Then Mr. Xiao Gao said this......

Gao pragmatic smiled: "The boy means that the third uncle is very disgusted with corruption, and it is cited as the big disadvantage of the national dynasty at this time, but everything about the investigation of corruption, judging from the boy's understanding of the third uncle, he probably supports it." ”

Oh, so that's the point.

Now Feng Bao knows what Gao pragmatic means: My third uncle hates corruption very much, and thinks that this matter is related to the rise and fall of the country, so as long as it is to punish corruption, he will support it, as for who will punish it, this matter is not a big problem, and it is completely negotiable.

Since this was the meaning, Feng Bao's mind suddenly turned quickly.

If Gao Gong really hates corruption as Gao Shishi said, he doesn't care much about who presides over it or who does it...... Then, if I take over this errand, first, I show my face in front of the emperor and the crown prince, and second, I can also show favor to Gao Gong - well, at least I can let Gao Gong see my ability, and I am on the same front with him in this major matter, then once I have another chance in the future, he probably won't object to me making a little more progress and becoming a palm seal eunuch, right?

There's something to be done! However, this Mr. Xiao Gao also looks very powerful, don't look at his age, he is really young, but judging from his performance today, this son is simply a genius, an eight-year-old yellow-mouthed child, not only has a clear mind, but also has a dark belly, gloomy and ruthless. In addition, this son is also very favored by Gao Gong, and he took him to meet with the important ministers in Beijing, and he took him to meet the saint together, which completely treats him as the heir of the mantle of the Gao family! For this Mr. Xiao Gao, I must not neglect half a point because of his age, I must treat it as a ...... As Yan Shifan in previous years, he generally paid attention to and attached importance to it!
