Chongzhen glared at them fiercely and said, "Let him continue." ”

Fan Guan took a deep breath and said: "Although the lower officials think that the rogue is in chaos, it is inevitable in the world!" ”

"Oh?" Chongzhen smiled without saying a word, and glanced at Cheng Qiang lightly.

Cheng Qiang suddenly felt sweat like rain, and knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "This guy is a poor scholar who has a little ink and prides himself on having extraordinary knowledge, how can the knowledge of the redneck get on the table?" Please forgive him for his sins! ”

Cheng Qiang said, and he bowed down deeply.

Chongzhen said: "You didn't get rid of the relationship with him for the first time, which shows that this king really didn't see the wrong person, although you don't have great talent, but you have the consciousness and quality of responsibility." Since ancient times, the imperial court has paid attention to both ability and political integrity, and the same is true for my Daming, but it is a pity that he chose to choose, but he chose a group of bastards who have no talent, no morality, and no ethics. ”

"Your Highness......" Cheng Qiangcheng looked up at Chongzhen in a daze, looking at them and smiling.

"Your Highness!" Fan Guan's eyes were full of excitement.

"His Royal Highness King Xin?" The people were full of doubts and waited for the situation to develop further.

To be honest in their hearts, they actually support Fan Guan.

If it weren't for Fan Guan's thoughtful behavior for several years, when Wang Jiayin gathered the hungry people to surround Suide, most of the people would choose to kill the officials and rebel and respond in groups.

Wang Jiayin did a lot of calculations, but he couldn't calculate that Suide had a down-and-out master who took care of everything, and at the same time, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his subordinates who had worked hard to gather together, but were still thieves and robbers in essence.

Chongzhen ignored the reactions of different groups on the surface, but in his heart he was extremely concerned, looked at Fan Guan and Cheng Qiang and said: "This king pardons you two for not guilty, you two can have a debate on this point." ”

"Debate? The main book of the county and the county? Okay, then the next official will come first! ”

Cheng Qiang was stunned, then smiled bitterly, and then gritted his teeth and looked at Fan Guan: "The drought in the northwest has been going on for a long time, and it is not the fault of the imperial court, which imperial court does not want the land under its rule to be smooth?"

Since Li Yuanhao, a member of the party, established the Western Xia to the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu drove Mengyuan to recover his homeland, how many years has I not been able to actually dominate this land in China? Compared with the iron hoof rule of foreign races, the Ming Dynasty, which was founded by the Chinese people, is good or bad for the people in this vicissitudes of life, and you have a measure in your heart. ”

Cheng Qiang said this, looked up at Zhongzhen, and continued to grit his teeth and look at Fan Guan: "This official admits that the imperial court's handling of the drought is also inappropriate, but the displaced people themselves are not without responsibility!" ”

"Finished?"

"Hmm."

"It's your turn."

"No."

Fan Guan arched his hand towards Chongzhen, then looked at Cheng Qiang and sneered: "Xiaguan does not have as many truths as the county magistrates, and Xiaguan just wants to say - rather be a dog in a prosperous world, not a person in a troubled world." The world rises and falls, and the people suffer. The people of the world use rice fat and rice cakes to feed the court bosses, and in the event of a disaster, they endure freezing and starvation, what is wrong? If you are hungry and want to eat, if you want to starve to death, of course, you need to rise up. ”

There is no need to re-show the truth, Cheng Qiang said: "Your statement is too unfair, you are doing everything possible to live, which is true, but you don't necessarily have to rob it!" Those who were robbed are not owed to you!

Oh no, you're not one of them, can't say about you. Wait ...... Hey, this official can't manage so much, and it's not right to think about asking others for relief when one of them encounters natural and man-made disasters. Isn't other people's food grown with hard work? Isn't someone else's family business the result of generations of hard work and wealth?

Your lord and my family have indeed been the magistrates of Suide for generations, but how do you know what kind of struggle my family has put in to get this position? How much money is used to make porridge and generally boil out a jinshi? In order to keep this family business, how much did it cost?

His Royal Highness King Xin's eyes are as wise as a torch...... Oh no, it's the fiery eye. It's really not wrong to say that your lord and I have no talent and no virtue, your lord and I have not been a piece of reading material since I was a child, but Ah Neng is more intelligent than me. But it can't be helped, who called me the firstborn? My father died young, my mother was frail, and my eldest brother was my father......"

Cheng Qiang said, already in tears.

Cheng Neng was not good at words, but just patted his brother's shoulder and comforted him silently.

Chongzhen looked at this brother and brother who could never be faked, and silently recognized it.

The people carefully reviewed everything the Cheng family had done over the years, whether it was for themselves, for the local people, or just to keep the position of Suide Zhi County.

In short, everything that has been done is worthy of the people.

Cheng Neng saw that his brother was crying really sadly, and finally couldn't help but look at Fan Guan angrily: "You said that as long as you take a bite of food, you will do your best to help my eldest brother, why did you bite back today?" ”

Fan Guan was ashamed, but remembering the tragic situation of the rural people asking about the dry loess and digging to survive, he still stiffened his neck and said: "The lower official is ashamed, but the lower official is not wrong, facts speak louder than words." His Royal Highness King Xin has traveled all the way, and I believe that everything in the northwest is already clear. The rich will always be rich, the poor will be poor, the Zhumen will be clothed and fed, and the ragged will starve to death in the wilderness. ”

Cheng Qiang suddenly cried out in grief: "But in addition to creating a lot of hungry and displaced people, the rebellion is really not good for improving the survival of the people in the loess!" Don't talk about it far away, let's just say what Wang Jiayin brought to Fugu and the people of Suide? Did you bring food?

No! He didn't bring anything to eat, but he also collected the last ration of the people in the mountains and wilderness, and said that he would have food to eat with him? Except for the thousands of subordinates who can follow him around, the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled with skin and bones, has he ever given him food? Aren't they left to fend for themselves? ”

Cheng Neng yelled: "That's it, don't rob your own people if you have the ability!" If you have the ability, go to Hetaokou to rob it! If Lao Tzu really has no ability, otherwise he will definitely lead an army and eat the enemy! ”

Either honest people don't get angry, it's really terrible to be angry, and Fan Guan was taken aback.

Zhou Yuji, an honest man, also said in a timely manner: "His Royal Highness the King of Faith can make a clear proof of this." Why do you think the hungry people who are flooding the road north are suddenly leaving? It wasn't because His Royal Highness Shin had taken out all the surplus food from us and asked people to bury pots and cook on the top of the mountains along the way, and attracted them with the smell of food. ”

Compared with people's livelihood, Fan Guan actually prefers to fight, and when he heard this, he actually forgot about the argument with Cheng Qiang, and said in a daze: "This is okay?" Can the battle be fought like this? ”

The topic that has been surrounding China for thousands of years cannot be properly and completely resolved until the productivity reaches a high level.
