After He Jiehao walked out of Guangfu, Zuodu Yushi Guangxing ordered his subordinates to take out this wooden box. Guangxing took the wooden box in his hand and hesitated, guessing what was in the wooden box, since it was not gold and silver jewelry, he really couldn't think of what else they wanted in it. Looking at the surrounding officials, his eyes were staring at the wooden box and at the same time he was dazed. Zuodu Yushi Guangxing stretched out a hand to open the wooden box, which immediately surprised people, it turned out that this wooden box contained a list of bribed officials. It turned out that He Jiehao did not burn the list of these bribed officials, but kept a copy and sent it to show his intentions.

Zuodu Yushi Guangxing looked at the list of these officials and said: "He Jiehao, He Jiehao, you are not simple, Wang Jie, an old man in Shaanxi, has been collecting the list of these officials to get rid of them, so it can be seen that these lists are enough to kill us." ”

"The majority of people, let's burn these lists, Wang Jie is also empty-mouthed, and there is nothing to do with us."

"Yes, burn it," the surrounding officials said in unison.

"Do you think it would be useful to burn it? There is also a He Jiehao. ”

"The majority of people, don't worry about this matter, isn't He Jiehao going to be transferred? We can keep him silent forever on the way to the transfer, so that the majority of people can sit back and relax? Li Shangrong, the secretary of the military department, came over and said.

"Yes, this method is a good way, let's do it according to Lord Li," the surrounding officials all nodded in agreement with Lord Li's approach.

"Can't do that, don't you think he's unprepared? If the failure of this operation is exposed, he will be aware of it and completely fall to Wang Jie's side, then we will be in danger, and we must not take this risk until we are in danger," at this time, Zuodu Yushi Guangxing paused for a while, suddenly thought of something, and continued: "How can you sit back and relax? This official is doing things for you, and you are resting easy. ”

"Yes, yes, it's our peace of mind, it's our peace of mind."

Next, Zuodu Yushi Guangxing's tone was very slow, as if he was pondering, and said: "If we threaten his life, he will completely fall to Wang Jie's side, and put this list in Wang Jie's hands, Wang Jie will be impeached in front of the emperor with this evidence, and the crime is inevitable." If we remain silent, his life is worry-free, and he will rot this thing in his stomach and no one will know. He is safe, we are safe, it can be said that He Jiehao is preparing with both hands, and he also gives himself and us a reassurance. If we act so rashly, how can he not be prepared, so saying that this He Jiehao is not simple is also his intention to come here. ”

"This list is still in our hands, how can He Jiehao do it, so we can arrange a killer on his way to office, so that he will disappear without knowing it."

"Why don't you understand, if He Jiehao still has a list in his hand?"

Today, Emperor Jiaqing is in a good mood, with birds singing and flowers everywhere, and the breeze whistling by. On the treetops on the shore of Daming Lake, a few fallen leaves float down, rippling on the water like a flat boat. Emperor Jiaqing sat in the corner of the pavilion and turned to look down at the lake, the stones fell from his hands, only to hear the sound of touching, and there were ripples. Looking at the scenery of the lake and mountains, the mood is much quieter. The eunuch and the maid waited on the side. At this time, Wang Jie, a scholar of Dongge University, came to bow and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"Wang Aiqing, let's get even."

"Emperor Xie," Wang Jie, a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion University, stood up and began to fall silent.

Emperor Jiaqing swept Wang Jie's face and said, "Wang Aiqing has something to say to me, if you have something to say, you can say it, there are no outsiders here." ”

"Minister, minister, emperor, the minister thinks that you rewarded He Jie's mansion, and the minister thinks it's inappropriate."

Emperor Jiaqing turned around and sat down, faced Wang Jie and said, "What's wrong?" Tell me, I'll listen. ”

"The emperor has always advocated that his subordinates be honest, and when he raided Heshen's mansion, he saw that there was a boat on the first floor of Huyang, and the furnishings in the boat were so luxurious. The emperor said such a sentence in person, if you can't be honest and thrifty, how can you advocate your subordinates? Therefore, the emperor never boarded this building ship again and ordered someone to scuttle it, and also set an example for the courtiers. Now that the mansion given to He Jiehao by the emperor is so luxurious, isn't it encouraging the courtiers to live a luxurious life like He Shen? ”

"I am the emperor and the Son of Heaven, and I can't take it back as soon as Chrysostom comes out, otherwise how will I govern this country in the future without faith? How will the decrees promulgated by the imperial court be implemented in the future, shouldn't the ministers be rewarded for their great achievements? He Jiehao I know, how to do it, I know in my heart, Wang Aiqing is very careful. ”

"The reward is to be rewarded, but not too much, Your Majesty. The minister thought that the emperor would change his mistake and be a good emperor, wasn't Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty like this? ”

Emperor Jiaqing was a little angry, stood up and said: "Bold Wang Jie, you are presumptuous, are you Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"The minister is guilty, but the minister doesn't dare."

"You stand down, it's a good day for the second dragon to raise its head in the first month of February, I want to sacrifice to the temple, you go down and tell the Ministry of Rites to prepare," Emperor Jiaqing said with his back to Wang Jie. Originally, I was in such a good mood today, but I was discouraged by Wang Jie, a scholar of Dongge University, and my mood was a lot more chaotic.

"Yes, the minister retired."

"Well, you stand down," Wang Jie, a scholar from Dongge University, stepped back. After Wang Jie walked out of the palace, he said to the subordinates beside him: "Go home." Then he entered the sedan chair and sat down, and the sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair and left. On the way back to the house, Wang Jie, a scholar of Dongge University, lifted the curtain and called the housekeeper and said, "Let's go to Hefu." ”

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, what is that?" ”

"Ho Kit-ho's mansion."

The official sedan chair turned to He Jiehao's mansion.

After He Jiehao returned to the mansion, he sat in the lobby for a while and entered the room in the backyard, and said, "Madam." Hua Hong stepped forward with a big belly and said, "Husband is tired, sit down and drink a cup of tea to suppress the shock," and then Hua Hong made him a cup of flower tea.

"Madame, don't be tired, be careful of our baby," He Jiehao said softly, holding Hua Hong's hands. The two of them together make people feel a kind of warmth, and their hearts are warm.

"It's fine."

At this time, the official sedan chair of Dongge University scholar Wang Jie stopped in front of the gate of He Mansion, the housekeeper stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain, Dongge University scholar Wang Jie slowly walked out of the sedan chair, stood in place and looked at the door of He Mansion, turned to face the housekeeper and said: "You carry the sedan chair back first, here the official can be alone," the people carried the empty sedan chair and left. Wang Jie stepped forward and knocked on the door of the mansion a few times, and the door opened, and the door poked his head out and said, "Who are you?" Why are you looking for my master? ”

"Tell your master, just say that Wang Jie is coming to visit."

This one closed the door of the house, and the other asked, "Who is looking for my master?" ”

"It's Lord Wang, Wang Jie."

"Hurry up and report to the master," the doorman ran to the backyard and said, "Master, Lord Wang Jie and Lord Wang are visiting." ”

"It's Lord Zhongtang, madam, quick, quick, by the official uniform," Hua Hong stepped forward to take off the official uniform and put it on for him, brought the pearl and the crown to wear, and strode out of the backyard as he sorted out his sleeves. Ran to the door of the mansion and saluted: "Wang Zhongtang, the lower officials are unwelcome." ”

"He Zhifu doesn't need to be polite, let's go into the hall and talk."

"Oh, the lower officials are pedantic, Wang Zhongtang pleases first." Wang Jie walked in front, He Jiehao led the way into the hall on the side, Wang Jie sat on the hall, He Jiehao instructed his subordinates to serve tea before he sat down. After Wang Jie sat down, he looked at He Jiehao and said, "Lord He, the emperor sent you to investigate the corruption of military salaries by local officials for the Qin Mission, and you have done a good job and proved your talent, and the official is pleased with this, and the emperor is also happy about it." Lord He, this investigation and prosecution of corrupt officials must have gained a lot. ”

"Wang Zhongtang, the lower officials are only doing some official duties, and the same is true for investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials, and there is nothing else?"

"Lord He, don't you want to say something about it? This time, the people are displaced, you go and look at the refugees on the street, they have a home and can't go back, the people are tired and the country is weak. ”

"Wang Zhongtang, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people suffer This is the hidden danger of the Qing Dynasty, and the lower officials also hate those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they can't wait to kill all the corrupt officials, evil officials, and dirty officials who loot the people's fat and ointment, but what is the use of being full of blood and blood. Corrupt officials have existed since ancient times, and they have been seen throughout history, and there is no dynasty that has no corrupt officials and has killed them all. They have a huge amount of power in the imperial court, they are intertwined, and even do anything to exclude the loyal and good, can this move bring down these corrupt officials? The lower officials just want to be an official with peace of mind, and they are wise to protect themselves in order to move backwards. ”

"Okay, remember what you said, and you can do it yourself."

"Xie Wang Zhongtang can be considerate of the lower officials."

Wang Jie, a scholar of Dongge University, got up to leave, and He Jiehao stood behind Wang Jie and said, "The lower official is here to send off Wang Zhongtang." ”

"Well, Lord He doesn't have to be sent far, say goodbye," Wang Jie, a scholar from Dongge University, stepped out of the mansion.

He Jiehao stood in front of the door of the mansion and bowed, then stood up, stood in place and watched Wang Jie, a scholar of Dongge University, go away, he took a few steps back into the mansion gate, sat on the chair and said to himself: "It is not easy to be an official in the court, for them, the official has not a stable foothold, don't offend anyone first, because no one can afford to offend, the only way to protect one's self is not to do anything, just to seek harmony between the upper and lower levels, a harmonious atmosphere, and impartiality is the eternal way," Then closed his eyes, closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, and ordered his subordinates to close the door. Come to a closed door. Today's court is already a villain, loyal and good have been repeatedly excluded and suppressed, if you are a little careless, you will become the next lamb to be slaughtered, and you can't protect yourself, and you can't talk about loyalty and patriotism.
