"An hour later, let Lu Gong, Ziyu, Chongshan, uncle, and Ah Yu rush to the palace. Today, I will counsel with them about this matter. After knowing the whole story, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but give an order to Zhou Yang.

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Hearing the sound, Zhou Yang hurriedly obeyed the order. Then he who took three steps and made two steps hurriedly retreated.

……

"Ziyu." Nearly an hour later, in front of the gate of the Chu Palace, Lu Sicheng and Zhao Ziyu, who came one after another, met by coincidence in front of the gate of the Chu Palace. So under such circumstances, Lu Sicheng, who stepped off the official sedan chair, couldn't help but greet Zhao Ziyu from afar.

"Lu Xiang." In this regard, Zhao Ziyu unhurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, which was regarded as a gift from his subordinate to his boss.

And Lu Sicheng, who is almost seventy years old so far, saw this, but he did not hold up Zhao Ziyu, a junior who was more than 30 years younger than himself, and also hugged his fists slightly, changed Zhao Ziyu's salute, and then said: "Ziyu, do you know what happened in Ningxiang City, Tianlin Road?" ”

"The incident in Ningxiang City is really the biggest case that happened to me since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty. In this regard, Xia Guan naturally knows about it. When Zhao Ziyu heard this, his face sank like water, and he said.

"That Ziyu, what do you think our center should do about this incident in Ningxiang City?" Compared with Zhao Ziyu's expression, Lu Sicheng frowned slightly at this time, but his expression was a little dignified.

"There are no rules, there are no rules. For such a thing, the lower officials thought that they should deal with those corrupt and lawless people in Ningxiang City in accordance with the existing laws and regulations. ”

"Dispose of it according to law! This is the way it should be. Ke Ziyu, now the lake is in the south, or the two rivers. These places are now the new places of my Great Chu, and most of the magistrates in the two places are the same as the local officials in Ningxiang, all of whom have surrendered from the Pseudo-Yuan side.

After these people surrendered, they inevitably had concerns about their status. In this way, if the center wants to severely punish those corrupt officials in Ningxiang City, it may make other officials feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes. And then make the place unstable and cause more trouble! ”

"When Xiang Lu said this, I forgive the officials for not agreeing." Hearing Lu Sicheng's words. After understanding what Lu Sicheng meant, Zhao Ziyu's originally calm face couldn't help but become a little solemn at this time.

"There is an ancient saying: In troubled times, you should use heavy classics. Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, the land of Kyushu, and the heroes are conquering, which can be described as an out-and-out troubled era. In such a world of great contention, if you want to achieve something extraordinary, you must not look forward.

Besides, only if the central Taicheng is impartial, the officials on the newly annexed land will not have this or that concern. Therefore, in this matter, the lower officials thought that they would not be able to "extrajudicial mercy"! Zhao Ziyu said this, and hugged his fist at Lu Sicheng again.

And when Lu Sicheng heard Zhao Ziyu's words, he couldn't help but turn his head and didn't look at him.

In this way, the two of them were silent halfway, and walked into the main hall of the palace one after another.

……

A moment later, in the main hall of the palace, Zhang Shihua, who was in civilian clothes, was sitting on the throne at this time, looking at the important ministers of the country under the steps, coughing lightly, and couldn't help but say: "Zhuqing, the Ningxiang case, now you all know about it."

So what do you think should be done on the central side of this matter? ”

"The king, if it is reasonable, all the officials and officials in Ningxiang should be killed. But if it is emotional, all the demoted officials in a county will be corrected at once, but it will inevitably make the degraded officials in other places become frightened. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to take this matter lightly. ”

When Lu Sicheng heard this, he stood up and expressed his views to Zhang Shihua concisely.

But in this regard, before Zhang Shihua could say anything, Zhao Ziyu, who was standing on the other side, stood up closely, "King, the minister thinks that Lu Xiang's method is absolutely unfeasible. The Ningxiang case is actually the biggest case that I have encountered since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty.

If there is such a serious case, we must all open the net and deal with it lightly. After that day, what majesty will there be in the law of the land! If the corrupt officials do not receive the punishment they deserve, will it not be too unfair to the good officials who abide by the law!! ”

Zhao Ziyu held the elephant wat and shouted, and his righteous and awe-inspiring tone could be described as an irrefutable gesture.

So in this regard, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the throne, was slightly silent, and then couldn't help but look at the important ministers under the steps and said: "As the saying goes: there are no rules, there is no circle." This time, this king wants to do it according to the law, what do you think? ”

"What do you think?" Although Zhang Shihua finally asked. But what he meant was meant by a fool could be understood.

Therefore, after the king of his own family had already made a decision in his heart, Zhang Shihua's voice fell, and Li Chongsan, Guo Yu and others, who had not yet spoken in the palace, couldn't help but speak: "The matter of Ningxiang, the ministers also think that it should be done according to law!" ”

"King!" Seeing that Zhang Shihua was so obviously biased this time, he directly vetoed his proposal in front of everyone, and Lu Sicheng couldn't help but feel a little unwilling in his heart.

However, Zhang Shihua has already said so this time, especially Lu Sicheng will refute his words.

So at this time, before Lu Sicheng could say anything, Zhang Shihua waved his hand and couldn't help but say directly: "Okay, Lu Qing doesn't need to say more." In this matter, this king wants to kill a hundred and make an example! ”

"Minister, obey!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's murderous words, Lu Sicheng naturally understood that if he continued to advise like this, it would only backfire. So after a sentence with such a helpless deep voice, he also retreated.

"Do you know? Today, this king listened to a play "Dou E's Injustice" written by Mr. Guan Hanqing Guan before his death with his relatives at home. But I don't know, ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard of this play? When Lu Sicheng had no choice but to retreat, Zhang Shihua looked at the ministers in the palace and paused slightly, but he couldn't help but say something like this.

“…… I've heard it. Although I didn't understand why Zhang Shihua suddenly said this. But the ministers in the palace still couldn't help but say in unison.

"And what do you think of the play?" Seeing this, Zhang Shihua asked again.

"This ......" was asked by Zhang Shihua here, and for a while, the ministers who were a little unclear about what Zhang Shihua meant couldn't help but be silent.

"Since you don't say it, then the king will tell me what he thinks." was silent for a long time, but in the end it was Zhang Shihua who opened his mouth. "You know, this king thinks. Mr. Guan's "Dou E's Injustice" is really the original way, exhausting the dirty darkness of this world.

As today, the heroes rise together. Many provinces under the rule of Yuanmeng did not have a pure land, and the world knew that Yuanmeng had lost the mandate of heaven. But how did this Heavenly Destiny Yuanmeng lose it!? However, the so-called Hu'er does not have a hundred years of luck, but because there is too much Dou E in this world.

There are too many unconscious officials who single-handedly caused such a tragic case like "Dou E's Injustice"! Therefore, less than a hundred years have passed since the establishment of the Yuan and Mongolian Poles, and the country has become in turmoil. ”

Zhang Shihua said with a solemn face, and his tone seemed a little distressed, "Xunzi has a good saying, 'The lesson of the car in front of you is the overthrow of the car behind'." The car in front overturns, and the car behind must learn a lesson.

Such a sentence is really timely at this time! ”

"Ministers, ministers are incompetent, and they can't share the king's worries! Capital offense, capital offense! Hearing Zhang Shihua's heart-wrenching words, no matter what he thought in his heart at this time, His Royal Highness Lu Sicheng and others were still busy and couldn't help but take the responsibility on themselves.

Of course, for Lu Sicheng's words, after Zhang Shihua waved his hand, he couldn't help but say: "Whether officials are greedy or pervert the law, they are often motivated by personal desires. And selfish desires are endless, and things like today's will naturally not disappear.

However, seven emotions and six desires, everyone in the world is born. No one can be cold as a stone, without feelings, and there is nothing to make others cold as a stone. Therefore, with regard to the corruption of officials, in addition to strengthening the supervision of local officials, we must also have institutional support.

Newborn children are fearless because they don't know, so when they are ignorant, they will inevitably have curiosity and yearning for everything. But when they knew that the flames could burn themselves, and the ice would be painful to touch.

Without being taught anything by their elders, they will subconsciously avoid such dangerous things. Therefore, I, Da Chu, must also formulate a system to turn things like corruption into flames and ice that can burn and frostbite officials.

As long as the officials under my Great Chu rule dare to reach out and touch these things, they will be harmed and punished for it. Let the officials who know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages are afraid of the consequences of corruption and perversion of the law from the bottom of their hearts. In this way, this king thinks that the world is not far from Dazhi. ”

"The king has spoken very much. Merit must be rewarded, and fault must be punished, this is the way of the king. Zhang Shihua's voice fell, and His Royal Highness Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but stand up, and hugged his fists and saluted with a heartfelt exclamation.

In this regard, after Zhang Shihua nodded with a smile, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Lu Sicheng, who was silent on the side, and asked with a smile: "Lu Qing." Qing is erudite and famous all over the world. At that time, Qing proposed five strategies, and one of them was like this.

Thinking about this matter, Qingdang is also confident. So I don't know, what tips do you have for this? ”

"The minister thinks that if you want to achieve the goal stated by the king, you can set up a royal history platform in the country and inspect all places." Regarding Zhang Shihua's question, Lu Sicheng paused, and couldn't help but clench his fists and say this.

Hearing his words, Zhang Shihua touched the stubble on his chin, muttered for a moment, nodded involuntarily, and said, "Qing's words are very good." But I am a great Chu, and the territory under my rule is now only a province. If the Imperial History Observatory is set up, the arrangement of official positions such as the Imperial History will have to be troubled. ”

"Please rest assured, the king can leave this matter to the ministers. In the matter of the establishment of the Imperial Historical Tower, the minister must formulate a satisfactory charter for you, the king. Hearing Zhang Shihua say such words after groaning, Lu Sicheng couldn't help but take it confidently this time.

Regarding this, Zhao Ziyu, Li Chongsan and even Zhang Liewen also remained silent.

After all, at this point, after being admitted to the Jinshi in the Yuan Court, Lu Sicheng, who had been mixed in the Yushi Tai for most of his life, was undoubtedly the most vocal in this.

To put it bluntly, at this point, Lu Sicheng is an out-and-out authority.

That's why Zhang Shihua asked for his opinion so solemnly at this time, and Zhao Ziyu, who had some disagreement with Lu Sicheng, also watched Lu Sicheng play without saying a word.

So this time, when Lu Sicheng said so, the establishment of the Imperial History Observatory in the country and the selection of some qualified personnel for Zhang Shihua in the country were naturally handed over to him by Zhang Shihua. Of course, Zhao Ziyu and others are also involved in this regard.

But it's still mainly Lu Sicheng.

Therefore, after this, Lu Sicheng, who had been with a slightly calm face, couldn't help but smile again.

But just when Lu Sicheng, Zhao Ziyu and others were about to end like this, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but look at everyone in the palace, and spoke again: "In addition to setting up a royal history platform in the country, this king has another idea here. ”

"En......" suddenly heard Zhang Shihua say this. Lu Sicheng, Zhao Ziyu and others standing in the hall couldn't help but focus their eyes on Zhang Shihua again.

"Oh, this time this king thinks so. In addition to setting up the Imperial History Observatory in the middle of the country and strengthening the supervision of officials in various places, it is also possible to set up a monument of honor and shame in the hometowns of officials in various places. ”

"Township Monument, Township Monument of Shame!?" Hearing such words for the first time, everyone in the temple looked at each other and couldn't help but be a little confused.

So seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but smile and continued to explain: "This so-called township honor monument and township shame monument is actually in the hometown of the officials, and the officials under the rule of my Great Chu have set up a monument. If the official is a good official, we will engrave the name and deeds of this official on the village honor monument in their hometown for the villagers to pay respect.

If it is a corrupt official, his name and deeds will be engraved on the monument of shame in his hometown, so that the villagers can take it as a warning. ”

"Qing officials are good officials, for people to admire, and they will be famous for generations; Corrupt officials and evil officials are spurned by others and have been stinking for thousands of years. The Lord is so good! After understanding the role of the Township Honor Monument and the Township Shame Monument that Zhang Shihua said, Zhao Ziyu's eyes lit up in the palace, and he couldn't help but praise him busily.
