Every time Sun Nianxin orders come down, there will always be someone's interests, and then there will be resistance. This time, in this small village on the bank of the Yellow River, there are still people who are bold.

Sun Nian was very puzzled, why were there always those people who were whimsical and wanted to seek benefits from him?

"I think I'm good enough, why are so many people not satisfied? but they want to go the wrong way and harm the lives of others. Sun Nian looked at the collusion between the village chief and the village chiefs, Li Zheng, and Shang Jia of the rest of the villages, and he hated it with hatred.

Yuan Yu would not think that Sun Nian had done a bad job, and said that those people were not greedy enough.

"Your Majesty, do you know that in this village, I have heard a few people say about what the village chief did before the natural disaster came."

Got into trouble before a natural disaster? This made Sun Nian even more curious, "What does he do?" ”

"Didn't Your Majesty always say that you would cultivate the Tao for the people? And the money? ”

"It is true. Related to this? Sun Nian frowned so much that his brows became a small mountain.

"Indeed." Yuan Yuan's face was not good-looking, and he said: "When the money came down, the village chief scraped sixty percent." ”

So there is the potholed path they see today, just big enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass?

"What else did he do?"

Asked about this, Yuan Yu Ke was even more angry, "He is gluttonous, everything that can be eaten, regardless of size, will be greedy to eat." Even if the amount is small, swallow it all without any leftovers. ”

"Huh! Have guts. A small amount, even if asked, can be taken out according to what he usually takes. Sun Nian laughed angrily.

"Not really. For example, he took the grain seeds rewarded by His Majesty directly, sold them to large households, and then exchanged them with some old grains to make up the amount. ”

"Bang", it was Sun Nian who smashed the low table in front of him. He had never felt so angry, "Why didn't anyone sue him?" "If he had reported earlier, or would he have known sooner?

Yuan Yu glanced at the angry Sun Nian vaguely, and said, "Who can go beyond the level to sue?" If you go to the next level, you will be whipped before you can resist the appeal. Perhaps he has not yet told his grievances, and his life is gone. ”

Why doesn't Sun Nian know? In the end, it is the officials who protect each other and the corrupt officials.

"No one wants to leave him behind and replace him? The people didn't say which one to replace him? Without waiting for Yuan Yu to speak, Sun Nian sighed, "Yes, everyone is afraid, and the fear of the next one is even more greedy than it." ”

Sometimes, he can't understand why he wants to be greedy for dirty money since he wants to be an official. If you want to be rich, why not be rich? Why bother to keep an eye on the clean pockets of the people?

"Now that the cause has been investigated, all those who are greedy for money will be sentenced to ten years in prison, and for every time they are greedy, they will be sentenced to one more year, and all their family property will be confiscated to comfort the people and put into the national treasury. If a person is greedy for 50 yuan or more, he will be killed without mercy, and his family property will be confiscated to comfort the people and put into the treasury. ”

"Promise." Yuan Yuan got the order, and he went to cook with his henchmen. When he turned around, he asked the doubts in his heart: "Your Majesty, you blame corrupt officials, but you can't blame your relatives?" "According to the law of the previous dynasty, a corrupt official was greedy for money, not only did he lose his head, but his relatives would also be implicated, or assigned to the frontier, or confiscated into the court as slaves and maids.

Sun Nian shook his head, "Since his family property has been confiscated, it is already a punishment for his relatives." However, if there is a traitor in his relatives, he must be severely punished. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Yuan Yu admired it very much. Sure enough, it is for the people of Mingjun. The law was both strict with the officials and tolerant with the people. Very good. Sure enough, it lived up to General Liang's expectations.

Those village chiefs are not even considered to belong to the ranks of officials, and they dare to ignore the law and eat the flesh and blood of the people, and they always have to pay it back. This is the idea of Sun Nian and others and the people. But for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they are not convinced. Especially the Lu dwarf who was caught red-handed by Sun Nian.

"Hahaha, what a fart! As long as we run errands, the remuneration is only a small fraction. If I take more money for hard work, I will want Lao Tzu's life! It's not fair! ”

Lu Xiaozi dared to slander Sun Nian like this, but he really relied on what Sun Nian said before that would not cause disaster to his relatives. What the king says, he says, cannot be changed. Taking advantage of this, Lu Xiaozi expressed his dissatisfaction before he was killed, so as to block the people who were so jealous of him. Why did that Lu Datou, who was not as good as him, go out, not only was he loved by Sun Nian, he changed his name to Lu Xi, but also worshiped the position of captain, which is a high position second only to the general! Lu Datou is a fart!

His words could be heard by Sun Nian, Lu Xi and others who happened to walk here.

"Why should I?" Lu Xi was very contemptuous, "Just rely on my Lu Datou to dare to go into battle to kill the enemy, keep the people safe, and dare to go to the enemy's head to exchange for my glory, instead of taking my own neighbors to peel off the skin and bones!" At the end, Lu Xi was furious and kicked the very jealous Lu Short to the ground. If it weren't for Lu Datou's injury, he would definitely be kicked half a foot away!

Sun Nian listened to Lu Xiaozi's words, and was even more angry and speechless. He had never seen such a scoundrel to the extreme, he was unlucky, and it was someone else who was at fault.

"Alright, stop listening to this kind of shit, disgusting. Dispose of it. Sun Nian said, then turned around and went back, not wanting to listen to these crazy people's crazy words.

"Lu Xi, your injuries should heal quickly." Sun Nian said, and before Lu Xi could think of how to answer skillfully, he popped out again, "Then, you can quickly take the people here to plant trees." Otherwise, you, the school captain, are waiting to be the first school captain to plant trees in the past. ”

I haven't threatened my subordinates for a long time, and all of a sudden, it really scared Lu Xi.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the last general will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations and return a green shade to my homeland, so that future generations can benefit."

"In that case, go back first. Take care of it. ”

"Promise."

As he spoke, he had returned to the military tent.

After Sun Nian waved his hand and asked Yuan Yu to go back to rest, he sat there and meditated. When I came here, I got rid of all the corrupt officials from the village chief to the county order, is it a blessing? Otherwise, when the people can no longer bear it, it will be the day when the people riot. At that point, the national foundation will inevitably be traumatized. It's not easy to be an emperor. It seems that many of the officials who were originally appointed because of their filial piety are not good. Also, anything can be faked, let alone pretending to be a filial son and a good person for a few years? Or, people's hearts are changeable, and their original intentions are no longer there, so they don't look at the suffering of the people and concentrate on their happiness.

No matter how depressed Sun Nian was, those corrupt officials were finally beheaded by Sun Nian and their family property confiscated. His relatives originally thought that they would lose their lives by Sun Nian's anger, but they never expected that they would be able to receive the emperor's favor and pardon all their crimes. In this way, Sun Nian's title of Mingjun was immediately praised by the people. And those who want to be officials to collect money, but in addition to being frightened, they hate Sun Nian very much. Many people cursed him to ascend to heaven sooner, so that the next young king could take office, so that they, as subordinate officials, could fish in troubled waters and gain some benefits while the officials were competing for power.

"I heard that my brother has someone in Luoyang, I don't know what Shangguan thinks of this ruthless king?" A man dressed in ayara asked a gray-robed man beside him softly.

"Since His Majesty ordered the severe punishment of the greedy people, many people in Luoyang have a deep grudge against him. It is said that the young king must be more sympathetic to the poor life of the officials than he is. ”

"So, they must be going to do it? Let him hurry...... Abdicate to make way for Xian? ”

To put it nicely, it is to abdicate and make way for Xian. However, everyone understands that when a foreign minister abdicates the king, he directly returns the king to the west.
