Chapter 885: Distribution or Encouragement?

In just over a dozen days, more than 1,000 officials came to the stage and pleaded guilty on their own, believing that they had touched the "Commercial Law". Lu Chengqi didn't even look at www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, and it was stacked in the vertical arch hall, so that people could record the name and official position.

This is also why Lu Chengqi did not deal with Cai Jing.

Sometimes a fist doesn't have to be punched out to have power, and when a fist is clenched, the deterrent effect will be greater. Because everybody can't figure out where you're going to hit.

Cai Jing pretended to be public and private, and secretly helped his rice shop, which had long been spread all over Dashun. Everyone knows that Emperor Lu Chengqi of Dashun is not joking with you this time, because the people in Chang'an City are really "unbearable" - well, in fact, they can still endure it, as long as it is not a famine year, the Han people can continue to endure it. endure huge exploitation, endure profiteers' shortages, and endure all kinds of injustices...... As long as you can still have a full bite to eat, life can go on. But who can see clearly, but be confused?

Lu Chengqi had already set a precedent before, Taizu made an oath in the Taimiao, ordering his descendants to "be the emperor, to give preferential treatment to the descendants of the previous dynasty, not to add farmland endowment, and not to indiscriminately kill scholars and doctors and people who write and say things, otherwise the heavens will destroy them", can not be taken seriously (in fact, there is no indiscriminate killing, just slaughtering a lot of corrupt officials). If you don't have force in your hands, and you commit another crime, and you "click", that's just "doing the right thing for heaven".

These officials, but if they make some bad money, they will be beheaded, this deal is really not worth it! After thinking about it, I still hurried up to ask for punishment. Confess your guilt with a better attitude, at least you don't have to lose your life! The "Great Shun Law" compiled by Hong Xiang in the tenth year all wrote "Confession is lenient, resistance is strict", could it be that the "Great Shun Law" believed by the emperor will be faked?

It's a pity that they can't guess what Lu Chengqi wants to do, so they can only be in a panic, for fear that one day when they wake up, they will be invited to tea by the Supervision Department.

As soon as he entered the prison of the Supervision Department, he was as deep as the sea, and since then, he has been on the rise.

Just when these officials with ghosts in their hearts seemed to have lost their souls, and they were in a state of confusion every day, Lu Chengqi appeared in the prison in Chang'an City.

"Cai Jing, someone has come to see you!"

A jailer, "bell-

This prison is by no means as dirty and sloppy as the TV dramas of the later generations and dynasties, but it seems very clean...... Well, except for the smell of urine and feces. After all, you can't be let out to pee and, and it's normal to have a smell.

In fact, this prison is usually a place where important prisoners are held, and they are usually prisoners. Even if he committed a crime, he was an official before, and it was normal to give preferential treatment. In Dashun, the scholars and doctors are even given preferential treatment in prison.

I saw that in this cell, there was not only a bed, a futon, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and even a few books to read, and even a newspaper from a few days ago, so that you could know what was going on in the outside world.

When Lu Chengqi arrived, Cai Jing was writing, and he didn't raise his head: "Since I was imprisoned, my relatives and friends have almost been cut off, as the saying goes, 'No one knows about the poor in the downtown area, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains'. ”

Lu Chengqi was also silent, and slowly walked behind Cai Jing to see what he wrote.

I have to say that Cai Jing's greed is a little greedy, but the handwriting with a brush is really neat and very distinctive, which is pleasing to the eye. Lu Chengqi knew that what he was copying now was the "Vajra Prajna Sutra", and his state of mind was also peaceful. Most of the people of Dashun believe in God and Buddha. But they are all very utilitarian, and I believe in whichever god or Buddha is good for me, and I don't really have a fixed belief. Many people become monks and Taoists, but they are just asking for a full meal, and they do not really believe in Buddhism.

It's no wonder that Confucius said, "The son is silent, the son is confused." "You must respect the ghosts and gods, and the gentleman should be righteous. If you don't worship ghosts and gods with mindfulness, then you have to be controlled by ghosts and gods. To put it bluntly, the Han people actually believe in Confucianism, who let Confucianism bring him official positions and glory?

"Ahem......"

Lu Chengqi coughed twice deliberately, and asked lightly: "Cai Yuanchang (Cai Jing's character), you are quite calm?" ”

Cai Jing was stunned, he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. Put down the brush, turned his head to look, a little confused: "You are ......" Suddenly, a memory broke into his mind like lightning, reminding him of the proudest day in his life. On that day in the Jiying Palace, the new branch of the Jinshi passed the roll call, he was the first to enter the ranks, it was full of ambition, fortunate to see the face of the sky, has firmly remembered Lu Chengqi's appearance in his heart.

Now that Lu Chengqi has grown a beard, it is more majestic, and Cai Jing has to carefully identify it before he dares to confirm: "Your Majesty!" ”

Facing Cai Jing, who was kneeling, Lu Chengqi sneered: "Are you guilty?" ”

Cai Jing wept bitterly: "The minister is guilty!" ”

"Anyway, what crime have you committed?" Lu Chengqi felt that the smell was a little heavy, and couldn't help but walk to the front of the prison door and said lightly.

Cai Jing bowed his head and bowed again, and said in a choked voice: "Ministers should not be too greedy, shoddy, and deceive the people......"

"That's all?"

Lu Chengqi glanced at him in disgust and said coldly.

Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said alertly: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty!" ”

"I'm sad, why can you, a scholar, do such a bad thing!" Lu Chengqi raised his voice suddenly, "Have you eaten all the teachings of the ancient sages?" You are still a person who reads the books of the sages, and I am ashamed of you! ”

Cold sweat broke out on Cai Jing's skull, and he was so frightened that he didn't move: "Your Majesty, the minister knows the guilt, the minister knows the guilt......"

"I know what you want to say, don't you just want to say that everyone else has done it, and you don't suffer if you don't do it?" Lu Chengqi glanced at Cai Jing who was lying on the ground and said coldly. "The gentleman is harmonious and different, your book is read to dogs!"

"The minister can't apologize for his death...... Cai Jing sincerely repented this time, in fact, his money has long been enough for the family to have no worries about food and clothing, why is he so greedy and insufficient? Even if you accumulate money and want to take care of it, no one dares to accept it!

Lu Chengqi's tone softened: "I don't blame you for making a voice, and even encourage everyone to do business together." But a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way, you are so fake for public and private gain, short of catties and short two, shoddy, I can't tolerate it. ”

"The Guilty ......"

"Okay, okay, don't pretend, don't you just want to know if you're going to die? I'm telling you, I'm not a butcher, and I'm not interested in having your dog's head, so I'm going to keep it on your head! In a few days, you will give me to Annan Prefecture, if you can't govern Annan Prefecture, you don't want to go back to the Central Plains for the rest of your life! If I meet my expectations, maybe I'll relent, and I'll let you come back. After Lu Chengqi said this, he turned around and walked out of the prison.

Cai Jing was overjoyed: "Guilty Minister Xie Your Majesty Longen, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live......" (To be continued.) )
