Chapter 13: Rigidity

The emperor's edict made Fan Li so angry that his teeth itched, and he understood from then on that this ancestor was a well-haired donkey, and if you choke him, it will definitely be bad!

But then again, is there anyone in this world who is willing to be choked? The emperor of Shengming also did not want to be choked. Even if he was a self-proclaimed Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was often proud of his own Sainthood, and every time the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty encouraged the ministers to scold him and accuse him of his shortcomings, he would correct it and aspire to be a saint.

It is said that once after the court, the Tang Emperor returned to the harem, and when he was relaxing in the harem, there was a minister next to him who praised him and said a few good words, and the Tang Emperor was not happy, saying: Look, I don't want you to be a minister like you who always speaks good things and slaps on the back, what do you want, you have to criticize me all the time, if you don't criticize me, how can I improve?

As a result, what did this buddy say: Your Majesty, everyone in the office gives you advice, that's what you should do, you are the emperor of Shengming, you said that you returned to the harem, you are in a leisure place, you are still so tight, no one even says a nice word by your side, so what does it mean for you to be the emperor! You need a minister like me to massage your mind and give your ears a masaki at your leisure, don't you think? Your Majesty, how nice it is to listen to my voice. In this way, you have relaxation, you are relaxed, and your work efficiency is high, what do you think, Your Majesty?

When Tang Huang heard it, he felt that he was also: You are right, I should indeed have Zhang Youchi!

This illustrates a truth: who is not willing to listen to good words? So communication is about skills.

At this time, Fan Li has completely offended the emperor, so will he not be able to mix in the officialdom? No, because after all, he is not the kind of important official, even if he offends the emperor, he can also have this bite of food.

And even if he criticized all the officials in the book he gave to the emperor before, whether it was a Beijing official or a foreign official, what was the situation of this officialdom, in fact, everyone knew it in their hearts, but they felt that Fan Li's writing was a bit excessive.

For Fan Li's character, everyone thinks it's okay, this person is just a bit of a two! Your Majesty, you dare to spray, for us, from the root, we are still colleagues, we are all here to eat, you want to eat more, we can understand this.

But in Fan Li's heart, he didn't think so, he was very painful in his heart, he felt that he had worked so hard to do these things, and in the end, he would not be recognized by the emperor, and second, he would be spurned by his colleagues in the capital!

But then he did a few things, and these things were really scolded by all his colleagues and magnates! Everyone pointed at him in the back and yelled.

So what did he do? Or Fan Li, what skills do you have, you can offend all your colleagues and magnates in the capital, how did you do it? This is also a technical job, and it is not ordinary people who can do it!

But in fact, when it comes to the network in the officialdom, Fan Li doesn't need to offend one by one, he only needs to offend a few leaders!

So how did Fan Li offend these leaders? This goes back to Fan Li's own fault, his uprightness! Didn't he study hard with Tang Zhen before, Cheng Zhu Lixue not only requires himself to be very strict, but also requires others to be as strict as himself!

There are mainly two things, let's talk about the first thing first: it is said that there is an official named Qishan, Qishan is from a very good background, he is a nobleman, and he became a local governor at the age of twenty, which is equivalent to the governor of a province, what is this concept?

So Qishan's foundation in the court is very deep, how deep is it? Although he was not able to do anything when he was resisting foreign insults, he dismissed the emperor and investigated it, but it didn't take long for the eldest brother to stand up again. It's a big deal to start all over again, and when you come together, you will go to heaven, that is, you will change places and continue to be governors, and you will still be big officials, local officials! What do you do with him?

As a result, someone recently participated in his book, saying that when Qishan was the governor of the local province, he was wantonly killed! What does it mean? It's just that there are too many people to kill, and there is no reason to kill.

This is a felony! The emperor will hand him over to the Criminal Department for trial, and if the Criminal Department wants to try Qishan, he will have to be transferred back from the local government, and Qishan will return to the capital.

It stands to reason that if you try a person like a murderer for such a big felony, do you have to try it seriously!

But the Qishan people have connections and connections in the capital, and when it comes time to try the case, the people who tried him don't talk about his murder, but talk about some trivial things, so they ask: Lord Qi, someone reported you that day, and on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, you killed a lot of people, and killed whoever you wanted, so please answer me seriously, did you drink too much that night, and when you drank, did you stipulate that you can only eat 100 yuan of dishes for a meal, and you ate 120 yuan, right? You said!

When Qishan heard this, he understood very well that avoiding the important is light, so he had to cooperate quickly, so he said: Yes!

Seeing that this is all right, this guilt has nothing to do with him. That's not all, Qishan's connections, how strong is the power in his hands, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department at that time said: You can't just have a defendant, you still have to have a plaintiff, otherwise how will this case be concluded!

So, the plaintiff was arrested at the scene, and the plaintiff was actually the whistleblower, and the criminal department Shangshu actually arrested the whistleblower with the procedures and treatment of criminals. The whistleblower sat there and was interrogated from the perspective of a guest, and the whistleblower was arrested and participated in the trial from the perspective of a prisoner! Isn't this reversing black and white? But as a result, no one in the Manchu Dynasty objected!

Seeing that Qishan was about to be released, Fan Li stood up and spoke: No! This is absolutely not a no-go!

Someone said: Fan Li, you are dry, aren't you just an official of Hanlin? Aren't you just a deputy minister? How can you take care of everything?

Fan Li said: This is within my duty! Because at that time, he was also a waiter in several ministries, and also a waiter in the criminal department!

So Fan Li stood up and said: No! Although the Qishan people are in a high position, but we have to do things according to the rules, we have to do things according to the law, he broke the law, he is a criminal, although the people who reported him are not nobles, but they also have this right, how can they be arrested because they reported the officials, they are like criminals? If you have to do this in the future, who else will dare to report these big officials! Moreover, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, do you remember what order the emperor gave you? The emperor only ordered you to try Qishan, not the whistleblower, if you have to try the whistleblower, then you have to go to the emperor to ask for a decree! Isn't it, how can you do that?
