Chapter 87: Good Brother
Zheng Lu said: "The minister thinks that as an official with official virtue, he should be conscientious in his duties, modest and prudent, honest and self-disciplined, loyal to the saints, loyal to the Great Zhou, and have a high sense of responsibility......
"That's a good point, I should applaud you. But Zheng Shaoqing, how many have you done? ”
"Minister......
Even if Zheng Lu wanted to boast, I was afraid that he would not have much chance, and Lu Cheng threw a stack of transcribed evidence in his face.
At this time, of course, it is necessary to beg for mercy first.
Zheng Lu knelt in seconds: "The saint is angry, and the minister is guilty." ”
Zheng Lu said that he was guilty, but he was still a little dazed in his heart. He had no choice but to peek at the evidence thrown at him by the emperor and exonerate himself. Because the emperor was watching him tightly from above, it was not good for him to make any big moves, so as not to add fuel to the fire.
Sneak a peek and encroach on fertile land? Is that called usurpation? It's a gift, it's a sale, isn't it normal to sell it if you don't want to farm?
Sneak a glance at the two eyes and change the tax privately? It's not my fault, it's all Cheng Tun's doing. I'm from a foreign country, how can I have this ability! Don't look for me, look for Cheng Tun.
Sneak a look at the three eyes, and the military budget is annihilated? This one...... If you want to clean it up, I'm definitely not the only one, and it's not going to end well if it's a big fuss.
Secretly......
"Be loyal to me, loyal to the Great Zhou, but you said it yourself. Private tax reform, secretly eat kickbacks are also your own doing. Words and deeds are inconsistent, and if you commit it knowingly, the crime will be added to the first degree! ”
"I pity the people in the border city for their suffering, how come the policy of reducing taxes by 30% has become when you come here, and the taxes are increased by 30%?"
"It's not enough to eat the court, but also to eat the people, on the black heart, it's really unparalleled, you call the first, no one dares to call the second!"
Everyone in the court was also shocked by Zheng Luzhi's greed, eating two families, this is really greedy!
Zheng Lu still has to struggle a little, Holy Lord, you listen to my quibbles, ah no, it's an explanation!
"Holy Lord, the minister has been wronged. The minister is a person who hates water, and he is like a rootless duckweed in Yanmen, where can he make such a careful and thoughtful plan? ”
The Taishou and county orders of the Great Zhou Dynasty all abided by the rules set by Taizu to avoid their own origins, that is, the locals were not allowed to be local officials.
This has the advantage of adding centralization and effectively avoiding the prevalence of localism.
But there are pros and cons. The downside of this is that officials who work in different places often have a hard time governing.
Officials who are officials in other places do not have many choices, or they choose to join the same stream of local snakes. Either you spend time polishing the trust of the locals before you govern. Either it doesn't matter what, it's not your hometown anyway, so it's not good to mix it up.
And Zheng Lu's choice is obviously to be in the same stream.
"Rootless duckweed, floating in turbid water, flowing with pollution, it is not difficult to float."
"Holy Lord, the minister is helpless, the minister floats on the turbid water, but he still doesn't dare to forget the grace of heaven, but the surroundings are turbid, and the minister has no clear place to stay. The minister had no choice but to lie down and taste the guts, and the minister lifted Shi Chengtun, the head of the Yanmen, kidnapped the officials, and abused his power......"
Zheng Lu chose to sell his teammates to protect himself. "Good brother", I will definitely give you some paper money when the Qingming Festival is clear.
Lu Cheng thinks that dogs eat dogs, which is really interesting. The testimony came from Cheng Tun, who put all the charges on Zheng Lu's head and portrayed himself as an accomplice who was coerced by Taishou.
And Zheng Lu leaked more Cheng Tun's evil things in the palace, and shaped himself into a pitiful image who was forced to be helpless and only followed the footsteps of the snake on the ground.
This is suffocating, and it is very similar to the means, and it is really not a "good brother" who has been embarrassed and has been doing evil for many years.
"What should I do? Cheng Tun and Zheng Lu, your testimony is completely opposite, I really don't know who to believe. ”
"That's good, Zheng Shaoqing and Cheng Changshi are recuperating together!"
"Holy Lord, Minister......"
"Doctor, Zheng Shaoqing, he started to talk nonsense, check him quickly, Zheng Shaoqing, don't worry, someone will help you handle your work, you can recuperate at home first."
This is the Great Circumference Changsheng version of the suspension investigation, some of Zheng Lu's things are hidden quite deeply, and the three holes of the cunning rabbit.
However, Yanmen was no longer guarded, and Changshi was also suspended, leaving only one general, Wei Guang, on the way back. A large county can't be leaderless all the time, and it has to find a credible person to preside over the overall situation.
