Seeing that the officials in the court were silent, Lu Chengqi smiled proudly and continued: "Jingzhao Mansion Yin Ke? ”

When Yin Huang Weiyi of Jingzhao Mansion heard this, he hurriedly came out with Chao Wat and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"Huang Qing said, what are the discrepancies between the evil officials investigated in the past few days and the truth?" Lu Chengqi said lightly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Weiyi said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, in the past few days, the ministers have received a total of 325 cases handed over by the Ministry of Officials and the Supervision Department. Of these, 115 have been clarified, and all the complaints made by the farmers are true. Among them, there were 21 people who engaged in irregularities for personal gain and interfered with laws and regulations; There were 32 people who stole power and abused officials; 28 were those who solicited bribes and embezzled public funds; Nineteen people who extorted the people, encroached on people's land, forged tax books, and stole taxes; Those who passed on the taxes of the rich squires to fifteen people. In such cases, all the evidence and material evidence are in prison, waiting for His Majesty's decree to deal with them. ”

Lu Chengqi said lightly: "If there are no mistakes or omissions, they will be dealt with in accordance with the "Great Shun Law", and those who should be punished with labor will be punished with labor, and those who should be confiscated will have their family property confiscated. Those wealthy squires who evade taxes can be exempted from liability if they recover double the taxes. Rural households that have been passed on to the tax will be refunded one by one. Those who encroach on the land shall return the land and be fined equal to the land price. Whoever extorts the people is sentenced to hard labor ......"

Huang Weiyi said that he would obey the order, but there was suffering in his heart. As the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, it is merciful that the little emperor did not pursue his dereliction of duty. It is impossible for such a servant to do evil without knowing the slightest clue. The little emperor gently and skillfully let him go, and made it clear that he was telling the civil officials that Huang Weiyi was my person, and I said that he would be fine. was forcibly tied to the little emperor's "thief ship", who knows the bitterness in Huang Weiyi's heart?

Lu Chengqi still underestimates the style of real literati, except for those civil officials who come specifically to get promoted and make a fortune, there are still a few who are sincere for the country. At this time, Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play. ”

Lu Chengqi thought that these words suppressed the civil officials, but he didn't expect this stinky and hard national abbot to jump out. Needless to say, this national abbot with a full sense of justice, when he is not used to seeing one thing, he can chase Lu Chengqi, from the Daqing Hall to the Vertical Arch Palace, even if he chases to the imperial dining room, Lu Chengqi will fulfill his wishes. Comparatively speaking, Lu Chengqi is afraid of Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, more than Li Ran in the imperial history. Li Ran is just an elderly "angry youth", who sprays everything indiscriminately; Zhou Yanhua is not so perfunctory, and he always gives Lu Chengqi a headache.

However, there is also a way to deal with the hard-boiled Lu Chengqi. Seeing that Zhou Yanhua was about to play, Lu Chengqi first said: "Oh, Zhou Qing thinks that I didn't handle it properly? ”

Zhou Yanhua was stunned for a moment, and said with Chao Wat in his hand: "No, Your Majesty is familiar with "Da Shun Law", and he has handled it properly. ”

"What did Zhou Qing do?"

Zhou Yanhua said endlessly: "The minister begs Your Majesty to take back the new policy. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar. Although Lu Chengqi had expected it, he was still caught off guard. His face suddenly became gloomy, and he said word by word: "Zhou Qing has something to say?" ”

Zhou Yanhua stepped forward, held Chao Wat and said: "Your Majesty is practicing a new law today, and the light is against its interests. When Yi Ying entered the study, what happened to Cao Shen on behalf of Xiao, the emperor said: 'Han Chang abides by Xiao He's law unchanged, but what? He said: "Ning Duhan also, so that the three generations of kings always abide by the law of Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu, although it still exists." 'Han Wu took Emperor Gao's restraints, and thieves were half the world; Emperor Yuan changed the government of filial piety, and the Han industry declined. In this way, the law of the ancestors is immutable. When Taizu was idle, he often summoned his attendants and close ministers to talk about everything calmly, and as for the civil and military courtiers and envoys to choose people, those who got into it often summoned the envoys to visit in front of him, and the commissions were detailed and all-encompassing. Therefore, one wants to make the lower feelings go up, and there is nothing to hide; The second is to know whether the talent of the person is to take the risk or not, all of which are appropriate, and the cause of peace is caused. ”

Zhou Yanhua is using the allusion of Xiao Gui Cao Sui to point out that the law of the ancestors is immutable. The deeper meaning is that Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu are the ancient prosperous times praised by Confucianism, and it goes without saying. The period of Emperor Gao and Emperor Xuan, praised by Zhou Yanhua, was characterized by the rule of the officials, resting with the people, gently shaking the thin endowment, and the country was rich and the people were safe. During the period of Emperor Wu and Emperor Yuan, which he degraded, the soldiers were poor and the people had heavy military service; Harsh to the people, the people are caught in fire and water; profligate and spend a lot of money; The country is in decline, the sea is wasted, and the ruling order is extremely unstable.

If there is no ink, I really don't know what Zhou Yanhua is talking about.

Lu Chengqi smiled and said, "Then what does Zhou Qing think I should do?" ”

Zhou Yanhua said: "Promote education, promote politics, raise the people, benefit all things, this person is benevolent." Know friendship, know safety, don't be virtuous and foolish, distinguish between right and wrong, this person is also wise. But where the Tao is, there is no doubt about it, the treachery cannot be confused, the trick cannot be moved, and the martial arts of this person are also. If the people have the three virtues of benevolence, brightness and martial arts, the country will be prosperous, the people will live in peace, and the prosperity can be expected. ”

After listening to Zhou Yanhua's words, Lu Chengqi said coldly: "Looking at the world, we can't worry about the society internally, and we can't be afraid of Yidi outside, the world's financial resources are becoming poorer and poorer, and customs are declining day by day. The reason for this is that I don't know the law and the government of the lawless king, and the so-called government of the king of law is only the law. What is wrong with changing the world's malpractices because of the suffering of human feelings, so as to follow the will of the king? When Lai Feiyi Di Chang was blazing, there was no change in the water and drought of Yaotang, so there was nothing in the world, too many years, what should I do? ”

Zhou Yanhua didn't take a step back, and said: "This is a fallacy! Your Majesty's new policy, how can it follow the policy of the previous king? ”

Lu Chengqi saw him fall into the hub, and said: "Since you want the government of the first king, I immediately issued an order to restore the well field!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty can't!" ”

Restoring the Ida system, isn't this going to cost them their lives! It was not easy to become a landlord from a common man, and after there was no land, what did these officials eat and support their old age? What will be given to future generations? To put it nicely, the law of the ancestors was restored, but it was really restored, and I am afraid that they would be the first to rebel.

Lu Chengqi said angrily: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how do you teach me to do it?" ”

The civil officials saw that the little emperor was really angry, and the left counselor Yun Feng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, the only way to do this is to take back the new policy." The world's scholars are all happy. His Majesty's prestige is also more prosperous. ”

Lu Chengqi sneered: "What about my people? Are there many scholars in the world, or are there many people? The poor people bear the brunt of the corruption of the rulers. If the people are miserable, the people are struggling to make a living, and they rise up, do you want my country or not? Absurd! I have said that whoever can't get along with my people, I can't get along with! Aren't the evil officials of Jingzhao Mansion unaware of it? The Jingzhao Mansion at the feet of the Son of Heaven is still like this, what kind of situation will the world collapse to? I ......"

Lu Chengqi said that he was up, and he slapped the dragon chair and got up, and at this time, a dull drum suddenly sounded outside the Daqing Palace. (To be continued.) )
