Guo Ye came from a despicable background and was not suitable for being an important minister of the country. However, he is greedy for power, and he does not know how to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and his sin is also one.

As a Tang minister, he made friends with foreign vassals privately. accept the heroine, give birth to an heir, and plot against her. The second sin is also.

……

took the opportunity of sealing the Duke of Qin to confuse the public. Ling Baiguan thought that he was the illegitimate son of His Majesty, and it hurt His Majesty's name. Its five sins are also.

……

to make strange and clever things, and corrupt the people's customs and worldliness. Its eight sins are also.

With the respect of the country, do business. Compete with the people for profit. Its nine sins are also.

As a Chang'an order, he is in charge of industrial and commercial affairs in the capital, and it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of melon fields and plums. Its sin is ten.

Of course, not every one of the ten counts is so tenable, and many of them are suspected of being indiscriminate.

For example, the first one, if you have a low background, you can't be an important minister? Do you dare to say this in front of the old black lieutenant Chi Gong? The guarantee beat you so much that you can't even recognize your mother.

Let's talk about the eighth article, if this reason can cure the sins of important officials in the court, then His Majesty Li Er's reputation in later generations can be comparable to that of Xia Wei Shang.

The real killers are the second and fifth articles.

If the matter of Guo Ye and Queen Shande can be regarded as a decree to pick up girls, then how to explain the matter between him and the Queen of Tianzhu Ring Day, Raga Sriri? What's more, they also have the crystallization of love.

A few years later, Raja Sri abdicated and their son ascended the throne. Guo Ye will become the emperor of Tianzhu. With this retreat, isn't it ridiculous to talk about loyalty to Datang?

Fifth, that's even more remarkable. The news that Guo Ye is the illegitimate son of His Majesty Li Er has always been a private rumor among officialdom. There are many rumors in the world, whether true or false, but there are not many of them, and there are many of them.

But after the publication of the "Chang'an Evening News" and the impeachment of the imperial history, this matter was put on the table, and the meaning was completely different.

His Majesty Li Er must give an explanation to the people of the world, is this matter true or false?

If it is true, His Majesty Li Er will be morally at a loss. If it is false, in order not to misunderstand, he has to show his alienation of Guo Ye to the people of the world.

The above is Guo Ye's understanding of this bullet.

However, as an expert on criminal laws, Wen Sihai has a different view on this matter.

He said: "Qin Guogong, your current situation is already very dangerous, and you have to plan early!" ”

"Thanks for the reminder. In fact, I've figured it out. The second charge is true. The fifth crime, although the illegitimate child was not personally publicized by Guo, if I defend it, I am afraid that it will become more and more black. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Although the other crimes are irrelevant, they only need to bite these two to death...... It was hard for me to get out of it this time. ”

Wen Sihai shook his head and said, "Qin Guogong, this time it's not as simple as it is difficult to get out. If you don't get it right, you'll have to be stripped of everything. No matter how serious it is, you will have to be imprisoned and questioned, even if you lose your head. ”

"Wouldn't it? How could it be so serious? ”

"It's still that serious. Yes, for the sake of the Lords. Even if the second and fifth articles are confirmed, they are far from the point of being stripped of all positions. However, it's not these two that really threaten you the most, it's the ninth and tenth! ”

"Competing with the people? It's just about morality, could it be that Your Majesty will punish someone Guo for this? ”

"It's not just about morality. Qin Guogong, what you have done has violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"The law of the Tang Dynasty prohibits officials from doing business?"

"Exactly. There is such a clause in the law of the Tang Dynasty, all officials and cohabitants, uncles, cousins and sisters, self-employed businessmen, and family specialists, are not allowed to enter the office. In other words, if you or your relatives are engaged in business, you can no longer hold official positions! ”

"This ...... How is this possible? How many of those royal relatives and dignitaries live on the court's wealth? Everyone is in business, it's just big and small! If this article is strictly followed, I think more than ninety percent of the officials in the imperial court will be fired! ”

"You're right. Since this law was enacted, not many people have followed it at all. However, if someone is more serious and insists that His Majesty will judge the case in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, what do you say Your Majesty should do? ”

"That's not right! Since everyone is doing this, it is a matter of public anger to lift the lid on it. If the five great scholars used this reason to impeach me, wouldn't they be afraid that the rabbit would die and the fox would be miserable and be hostile to all the court officials? ”

Wen Sihai said: "The move of the five great scholars is disgusted by some courtiers, and it is very likely. But to say that it is hostile to all officials is a bit too much. Qin Guogong, you are completely different from everyone else. ”

"You're saying I have a personal vendetta with the Five Great Scholars?"

"Not really. Wen someone means that when others do business, they are entrusted to their cronies to take care of it, and they never go into battle shirtless. But you're different......"

"Damn it!" Hearing this, Guo Ye completely understood.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk!

I think that at the beginning, as a person with the same name and surname, I signed an agreement with Li Quan to buy and sell 56 glass workshops.

At that time, I was still very proud of this strategy, thinking that it was a stroke of genius.

Unexpectedly, by now, this incident has become the fuse of his failure!

Not to mention, a month ago, in the Chang'an Mansion, in full view of everyone, he personally told Li Yanqing that this deed was signed by himself. Fortunately, he didn't die, and he wrote a few names to him!

Isn't this sending the evidence into the hands of the enemy yourself?

It's still too careless. If you accidentally lose all the plates!

Thinking of this, Guo Ye sighed and said, "It seems that this time it was Guo who cocooned himself." However, if this is used as a reason, Guo is asked to give a minister, although there is no problem in the law of the Tang Dynasty. But in reality, I am afraid that it is difficult to convince the people of the world. ”

"Qin Guogong, you are wrong again this time. Have you noticed that the so-called Count 9 and Count 10 are separate. You know what that means? ”

Guo Ye bowed and said, "I want to ask Mr. Wen for advice." ”

This shows that you have broken not one, but two! Officials who engage in business are not allowed to enter the office, which is the first article. ”

"What about the second one?"

"It is strictly forbidden for officials to do business within their own jurisdiction! There are provisions in our Datang law, and if this article is violated, even if the transaction is fair, it will be punished by fifty lashes. If it is unfair, it will be perverted according to the law. Disposition. ”

And this rule?

When Guo Ye heard this, he couldn't help but shout in admiration! The eldest grandson Wuji and others who formulated the laws of the Tang Dynasty are really outstanding people.

Doesn't this make sense? It just makes so much sense. Incumbent officials, concurrently engaged in business in their jurisdiction, are selfless and selfish, and there are no disadvantages and disadvantages.

You say that you buy and sell fairly, and you are in business? Who believes! Ninety-nine percent of the time is likely to be the use of power and cunning.

Guo Ye, who is under the red flag and grew up in New China, understands this article too well. Isn't this a stipulation that strictly prohibits leading cadres and their spouses and children from doing business?

Unexpectedly, this law was born in the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago.

However, then again, admiration is admiration, and understanding is understanding. Although this rule is good, if it is on your own head, it will be a different matter.

Guo Ye was aggrieved in his heart!

Although the deal between himself and Li Quan is not without flaws, it is too unreliable to say that he used his power to take advantage of his power. In fact, in this matter, instead of taking advantage of his position, he also concealed his identity.

Because of this, he has to bear the crime of corruption and perversion of the law, which is too wrong.

Besides, even if you want to bear this sin, you can't afford it! Fifty-six glass workshops, not to mention the technical content, the construction cost alone is 5.6 million yuan!

And how much did you spend? When you calculate it, it's just 10,000.

According to the punishment of embezzlement of more than 5 million yuan of money, even if you have ten heads, it is not enough to cut off!

Guo Ye bowed to Wen Sihai and said, "How should this matter be resolved, I hope Mr. Wen will teach me!" ”
