This Chen Kang finally couldn't help it, of course they couldn't help it when Shi Bufan called them mad dogs several times. Shi Bufan came last time with a sentence "Yushi eats. ", which can be regarded as a person who has completely offended the official status of Yushi. And this time, Chen Kang seized the opportunity to take revenge on this Shi Bufan. But Shi Bufan was not only not afraid, but called him a mad dog, he could bear it at first, but now he finally can't bear it.

However, Shi Bufan said directly: "What are you not a mad dog?" Regardless of the situation, they will scream randomly, do you see? The program of the cooperatives I set up can prevent the people from suffering from forced labor, and can also make the people work harder and even take the initiative to serve the forced labor. But you dissuaded the emperor, saying that you can't build a large number of buildings. Is the construction really hurting the people and destroying the people's livelihood? What evidence do you have to say that the construction is destroying people's livelihoods? ”

"Isn't the example of Tyranny Qin and Former Sui very good?" Chen Kang said.

Shi Bufan snorted coldly: "Didn't Shang Ying also say back then that you can't rule the world together, so it should be changed according to the times?" You still take the example of the former Sui as an example, ignoring the feasibility of my plan. I came up with this plan with great painstaking efforts, and the emperor's construction of the project was not only not harmful to the people, but was helping the people. Wouldn't it be great if they were allowed to build water conservancy projects so that the people could harvest their crops regardless of drought and floods? ”

"Also, let the people build roads, so that my Tang army can strike at the enemy as soon as possible, can quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and don't let the rebels become bigger, isn't this great? Wait, who said that the construction of the project is really destroying people's livelihood? The destruction of people's livelihood is only the way it was organized in the past, according to the way I organized, I dare not say that it will never be destroyed, but even if I am sure that the emperor will build the Grand Canal again, there will be no accident! ”

"But what about you? Without a careful understanding of my plan, let alone asking the people who were in forced labor, they thought that the people were miserable? You didn't investigate it yourself, and you came up with the so-called saying that the people are miserable and can't build a large number of buildings? If you can't do things yourself and don't let others do things, what is a person like you who is not a mad dog? What I hate the most is that you don't do things yourself, but you don't let others do things. ”

That Chen Kang was even more annoyed, and said proudly: "I am a Qing official, a Qing official around the emperor, and my status is respected, where is the ......?"

"Hahahaha, Qing Guan? Is it a clean official like you who holds the people's fat and people's anointing, but doesn't think about how to be loyal to the emperor and work for the people? You are chattering crookedly here, holding a fortune and not doing personnel, you are really an idle Qing official! Shi Bufan said politely.

Shi Bufan knew that this "clean official" during the Tang Dynasty did not refer to those honest officials. In fact, the Tang Dynasty was influenced by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Qing officials during this period were used to describe those officials who were close to the emperor, had few affairs, and were high-ranked, without many complicated affairs.

For example, the imperial history, the literary officials and historians around various later emperors are all a kind of "Qing officials". During this period, those clean officials tended to value reputation, pay attention to those who talked clearly, and despise those officials who really did things.

In this era, those county officials who really do things for the people, and those who are really busy doing practical things every day, are despised in this era. Few of those scholars were willing to be such officials who did practical things, and officials who did practical things themselves were degraded by the scholars as "turbid officials" and were considered to be of low status.

Even this kind of "turbid official" is for those poor families, and even is looked down upon. This history is so funny, the officials who don't do anything and don't think about how to benefit the people have become a model of honor, and those who work hard every day and strive to work hard for the people are actually looked down upon, which is simply funny. Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the quality of an official is no longer for the benefit of the people, but for the sake of nobility.

"Chen Kang, I just know the officials, I don't know what the Qing officials are. I'd rather be a follower than a clean official. If you are like you who holds the people's fat and people's anointing, but not only does not do things yourself, but also does not let others do things, I look down on you! If it were possible, I would rather be a diligent ruler, loyal to the emperor, and a follower for the benefit of the people, than a clean official like you who is idle and does bad things and does not let people do things. Shi Bufan said sarcastically again.

Chen Kang was angry and shouted: "Shi Bufan, you actually dare to insult the Qing officials, you ...... You ......"

Chen Kang was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Shi Bufan looked at this Chen Kang with contempt, obviously looking down on him very much for being a "clean official". This made Chen Kang even more indignant, you must know that in the past, others knew that he was the imperial historian, and he was a "clean official" who was also very respectful, and looked down on those "turbid officials" who were busy doing things every day. But now, Shi Bufan, a "turbid official", dares to say that he looks down on him as a "clean official", which has also hit his outlook on life and world view for many years.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that my Tang Dynasty wants a follower, not a clean official!" Shi Bufan said to Li Shimin again.

Shi Bufan really looks down on Qing officials, especially the "Qing officials" in ancient times. In ancient times, Qing officials were generally people with a good reputation and incorruptible. But for Shi Bufan, this kind of clean official is actually not a good official. In fact, as long as you don't take what you shouldn't take, you can take what you should take, and work hard, then you are a good official. You don't need to deliberately show off your incorruptibility and poverty.

Officials who deliberately show off their poverty are not necessarily good officials. I don't know when it started, but the standard for describing a good official in China is actually honest, and that is just honesty. However, those officials who do practical things, if they are not "poor", they cannot be called good officials. Only those with a good reputation are clean officials, but often these ancient clean officials just can't do things, they don't know how to work for the benefit of the people, but they are there for the sake of fame, but they are preventing other officials from doing practical things.

Once a clean official harms others, it is even more terrible than a corrupt official, because the "three views" of a clean official are distorted. Hai Rui, a famous Qing official, starved to death for the sake of the so-called "family reputation". For the sake of his "reputation", he did not hesitate to let his daughter starve to death. For such a cold-blooded official, is it a good official, Shi Bufan doesn't believe it! is so cold-blooded for his daughter, once he really has real power, he can make it even more terrifying than a corrupt official.

It is even more terrible for the Qing officials to harm others, because the Qing officials think that they are actually doing good deeds when they do evil. Even Hai Rui himself thinks that starving his daughter to death is a good deed, but it is conceivable that once the Qing official does evil, there is no bottom line. Because in their eyes, there is no distinction between good and evil, and they are harming the people under the banner of doing good deeds, even more terrible than corrupt officials. The novel "The Travels of the Old Remnant" in the late Qing Dynasty is also exposing this kind of clean officials, once the clean officials do evil, they are often more terrible than corrupt officials, and the clean officials are even more misleading!

"Your Majesty, shouldn't a person like Chen Kang, who holds the fat of the people but doesn't think about how to be loyal to the court and how to benefit the people, shouldn't he clean up my Tang Dynasty? Once upon a time, during the Qin and Han dynasties, the officials who were valued were officials who could do things sincerely and work hard for the well-being of the people. Therefore, the minister would rather be a follower than a clean official. Shi Bufan said.

Chen Kang looked at Shi Bufan, and he was simply angry, because he could see that Shi Bufan was really looking down on him, and he was looking down on him from the bottom of his bones. Because the extraordinary "three views" are completely different from the "three views" of officials in this era. The officials of this era still have a lot of legacy from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, attaching importance to clean talk and not paying attention to doing practical things. I'm proud of being idle, but I'm ashamed of working hard.

You must know that in later generations, even in the Qin and Han dynasties, they were all proud of the "followers" who worked hard, but after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the values of officials changed, and they actually became despising those officials who worked diligently, and instead called them "turbid officials", which were lowly officials.

"No wonder the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were faced with the Hu people's instigation of the city, and the officials who did practical things were looked down upon, but those guys who ate people and didn't do personnel were proud of it. With such perverted official values, is it strange that the country does not decline? Sure enough, it is a model of Qing talk and misleading the country, these royal histories are really mad dogs, not only do not help others when they do things, but they drag their feet to do crooked, is it easy to do something? Shi Bufan thought annoyedly.

What Shi Bufan hates the most is the royal history of these mad dogs, and how many good policies are ruined by these mad dogs. This imperial history is not interested in whether other officials are corrupt officials or corrupt officials, they pay more attention to those "politically correct" things, and they have caught some things on the line, and they will not give up if they don't make you die.

If you don't conform to their old-fashioned governing philosophy, they will bite you hard. These imperial officials are often the biggest obstacle to the progress of the times. Some of them are idiots at the front and back of the car, and they don't investigate specifically, so they pat their heads and think that the new policy must be bad, but in fact they don't even look at it. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and this is not necessary for them to practice, and their investigation is only to listen to the old books of the ancients and come up with evidence.

Even if some people know that the policy is good, they have no conscience for the sake of their own future, and would rather sacrifice the interests of the people to build a ladder for their own promotion. This kind of clean officials hurt people even more terrifyingly, and they use high-sounding excuses one by one, as if they are doing things righteously.

It seems that if you don't make your family extremely poor, you are not a good official. A really good official is one who can take what he should take, and who should not take it or not, and then he is a good official if he works diligently. Could it be that the poor in the family must be good officials?

"Alright, you can stop making noise! In front of me, noisy and noisy, what kind of system has it become? Shi Bufan, this time you really didn't do it properly, you should ask the court for instructions before you get it. What's more, you are Wannian County, Wannian County is the attached Guo County of Chang'an, and you are still the parent official of the people of Chang'an City! It's so close to the imperial court, and you don't know if you just mess around with instructions, is this appropriate? Li Shimin asked.

Shi Bufan hurriedly replied: "The minister was negligent!" ”

However, Li Shimin then said to Chen Kang: "Chen Kang, what Shi Bufan said is right, as an imperial historian, even if you want to impeach others, you have to come up with a piece of evidence!" How do you know that the people are suffering if you haven't seen them in person? I haven't really looked at whether the people are working hard, so I'll just talk about it casually here. So, don't be so reckless in the future, listening to the wind is the rain. ”

Chen Kang's face was dark, this Li Shimin was obviously pulling the shelf. Li Shimin's words are clearly biased in favor of Shi Bufan, and it is obvious that Li Shimin's words are also biased in favor of Shi Bufan.

"Your Majesty, he scolded us for being a ...... in imperial history" Chen Kang wanted to continue, but was waved by Li Shimin.

"Go down!" Li Shimin said.

Chen Kang walked away with a dark face, but he didn't forget to stare at Shi Bufan viciously, as if to say that this matter was not played.

"Hmph, if you don't do things yourself, and you don't let others do good things, you're really a bastard!" Li Shimin couldn't help but scold.

Li Shimin continued: "Actually, Lide has already told me about you. I'm very satisfied, this time I just want to see if you can really withstand the pressure. Now it seems that you are indeed a pillar of talent! ”

Shi Bufan was thinking in his heart: "Hehe, you really beat me!" Chen Kang After all, your emperor has a dog that bites, and if you ask him to bite a few bites, he will also bite a few bites. Chen Kang's impeachment may not have been instructed by you, but it was definitely connived at by you. You're warning me to be careful. Goshi is a mad dog in your hand that can be used to bite me at any time. Although you really approved of my plan, you still didn't forget to knock me! You asked me to come over this time, hoping to give me a warning without making a big fuss, so that I don't mess around in the future! If it messes around, then the mad dog of Yushi is not leashed, but a dog that you let out and bite hard. This time it's just a seven-rank palace servant, just a puppy. You're just here to warn me, if the time comes, maybe it's a big 'Tibetan mastiff' like the secretary and the imperial historian. ”

"The minister is guilty, Wannian County is the attached Guo County of Chang'an, and the minister did not ask the emperor for instructions and made his own decisions, and the minister is guilty!" Shi Bufan replied.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's good to know, if you have any ideas in the future, tell me first, at least daily, you should also talk to Shangshu Province, and ask for more instructions." Don't take matters into your own hands, got it? ”

"Hey, it turns out that I blame myself for making my own decisions, the root is here!" Shi Bufan complained in his heart.
