Chapter 418: Shu Autonomy

Later, after a long time, Chen Le only understood that people are the same and different. It's the same in the hands, feet, nose, and eyes, not the same in the head.

Therefore, you can't just look at people and problems from the surface, otherwise you will fall into the embarrassment of why not eat minced meat.

But then again, what the sage said about the state is poor and cheap, and shameful is still very reasonable.

In this peaceful and prosperous world, it is very easy for a good hand and a good foot to find a job to do. But this group of people just don't want to, they just would rather go out with a broken bowl and beg for food, rather than dignity and shame.

It's really helpless for these people.

Chen Letian saw a rare stubbornness in this noble son. This stubbornness involves a person's obedience to the heart. Even if you know you don't need to do it again, as long as you feel uneasy, then continue to do it. It doesn't matter if you give more, the most important thing is not how much you give, but how much you get, but how much you have to be peaceful.

Chen Letian dares to guarantee that even so, this noble son often can't sleep at night, because his heart is difficult to settle.

In the letter of the unknown, this is called the giving personality. It belongs to the kind of satisfaction that takes care of others and treats others well. As long as this kind of person gets the benefit of others, he will always find ways to compensate others. The greatest happiness of this kind of person is to be good to others, as long as they can be good to others, they can be happy, once one day they can't be good to others, then this kind of person can't live.

"Dare to ask Brother Tai's name?" asked Chen Letian.

"Under the surname Zhang, Zhang Changming, I haven't asked my brother Tai's name. The noble son also gave up, obviously having a good impression of Chen Letian.

"Under Chen Lotte. ”

"Ah, is it Chen Letian who sued the officials of the twenty counties?" The noble prince was taken aback, and looked up and down at the young man in front of him, as if it was different from the rumors.

"It's down there. Chen Letian didn't expect his name to be so well-known that he was also taken aback.

Gui Gongzi muttered while looking at Chen Letian: "It seems to be different, it is rumored that you are a veteran of a hundred battles, I estimate that you will have to be at least thirty-five upwards, I didn't expect to be so young." ”

"I joined the army relatively early, so I may be more open-minded, so I fought more battles. Besides, rumors often tell the truth beyond recognition. "Chen Letian

Laughing.

The two then walked side by side in the beggar's village, walking like a walk, talking as they went. Zhang Changming is very talkative, basically he is talking. He told Chen Letian about being rescued by this group of beggars back then, and said that he had good luck after escaping death, and he did almost everything, so he had the huge family business he has now.

Chen Letian did not ask about his family background, but from Zhang Changming's words, it can be guessed that Zhang Changming's family background is definitely not low.

However, Zhang Changming is a native of Chengdu, not Bazhong City, as for the big family of Bazhong City, Chen Letian actually knows a lot, after all, Bazhong City is not big, and there are only a few big families, which is not complicated at all.

In the capital, almost no one can remember all the big families and big forces in their hearts, but in Bazhong City, they can be remembered with a little snack.

Zhang Changming said a lot of his own things, and then asked Chen Letian how the case was, whether it was good to handle the stolen goods and get them, Chen Letian said that it was easy to handle, and it was estimated that the result would be available in seven or eight days. Zhang Changming clapped his hands and said, that is really happy. Give Chen Letian a thumbs up, thank Chen Letian from the bottom of my heart, and make great contributions to the elimination of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Shudi.

Of course, Chen Letian is modest, but Zhang Changming smiled and said, you don't have to be modest, the people of the entire Shu land should thank you.

Five days later, the capital, the Imperial Palace, the study.

Early in the morning, the birds chirped outside the window, the morning sun was rising, the court meeting had just ended, and the lord of the Great Song Dynasty had already begun to review and fold in the study.

The twists and turns of the county of Bazhong City were seen. After reading this, the emperor stood up and paced a few steps around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking in his heart.

Because of the special treatment of this Shu land, there is no military power so far, and the two major powers of finance and personnel are all in the hands of the king of Shu himself. This situation of high autonomy is the biggest factor that leads to the bureaucracy of Shudi.

Because the decree was not subject to the imperial court, and its assessment was not subject to the imperial court, in that independent kingdom, the quality of the officials completely depended on the management of the court of the king of Shu.

The management ability and strength of the court of the King of Shu are completely incomparable with the imperial court.

In fact, corruption and bribery of officials in Shu have always been a big problem. When Emperor Hecheng had just succeeded to the throne, some officials proposed to cut off the king of Shu and change it to Shu County, only retain the nominal status of the king of Shu and everything he enjoyed in life, and cut everything in the palace of the king of Shu and the king of Shu

Power.

However, he was rejected by the emperor.

The emperor said that the first emperor had instructed him before his death, until the last resort, do not touch the king of Shu, the king of Shu has been loyal for generations, and there is no second heart, and they can't rebel without military power. If you want to cut the feudal domain, you have to go at least two more generations, otherwise it will provoke criticism from future generations.

Emperor Hecheng felt that his father was right half of what he said, at least the last sentence, it was reasonable to cut the feudal domain too early and provoke criticism from future generations.

After all, so far, the facts have proved the loyalty of the Shu King family to the Great Song Dynasty for so many generations.

The emperor is sure that even if he makes a holy decree to go to Shu today, cut the king of Shu and change it to a county. The king of Shu will leave for Beijing to resign on the same day, and then be an idle county king from now on.

There is no doubt about it.

Countless years later, there is a stroke in the history books: the king of Shu has been loyal for generations, and in the ninth year of Hecheng, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty cut the king of Shu and changed it to the king of the county, and the autonomy of Shu has ended since then.

I still care after all, even if it's only a few lines.

"Your Majesty, you drink tea. The confidant eunuch handed over the tea.

The emperor took a few sips and muttered: "This Shu bureaucrat is too **, a small county government, there are twenty of them who have been bought by bandits, and they actually used 400,000 taels." I'm afraid that the small minibus in Midtown will not have so much money left in ten years?"

The eunuch took the teacup handed back by the emperor, took two steps back, and did not speak. Of course, he could understand what the emperor was saying, but at this moment he would never speak. In major national affairs, how can he, a crippled person, put his beak aside, but he can't mess up the discipline.

"It's just lawless!" The emperor suddenly became a little angry, clenched his fists slightly, but then controlled his emotions and secretly thought, why is he so easy to get angry recently?

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor shook his head, reluctantly returned to the table, and wrote a few words on this book from Shudi: I know, judge according to the law.

For now, he had no choice but to do this. If he said that he would bring everyone to the capital for interrogation, or hand them over to the Criminal Department or Yushitai for interrogation, he would actually deprive the King of Shu of his power. He didn't want to do that just yet.

When the king of Shu came to pay tribute this year, he specially said that he wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and his sons were not angry, and he was not qualified to be the king of Shu in the future. The emperor also said at the time, don't think too much about it, go back and recuperate, and the days will be long in the future.
