Chapter 517: The First Emperor of the Ages
"Dad, you're getting older, or you don't look at it and go home."
Li Chaolong looked at his father Li Jinli, who was sitting next to him, and comforted, Li Jinli came to see Li Deyu, the descendant of the Li family's execution, Li Deyu's grandfather was one of the five clan elders of the Li family, but this clan elder is dead, but Li Jinli still has an identity, that is, the person with the highest rank in the Li family at present, and he is qualified to participate in the life and death of the Li family.
And next to Li Jinli is a simple peasant man, this person is older than Li Chaolong, and he is Li Deyu's father, Li Chaohe.
The Li family is not an official who is mixed up, Li Chaohe does not, he is a man, and his brain is not very flexible, so he knows that he will work hard, when Li Chaosheng started his family, he did not participate, but An An divided the farming, but his eldest son Li Deyu is a thoughtful person, after Li Chaosheng got into trouble, he followed Li Chaosheng, and was reused by Li Chaosheng, and even once did the position of director of the Shandong City Department of Shipping to do business with Japan, which can be described as a monopoly of power.
It's a pity that this guy didn't follow the right path, and was corrupted by the Japanese people, so he ended up in today's miserable end.
Li Chaohe's face was sad at this time, and Li Chaolong comforted him on the side: "Brother Chaohe, don't be too sad, the thing about moral education is that he did something wrong, he actually colluded with the people of the Japanese country to harm the interests of Lantian, this matter is no wonder to the county respect, I hope you can understand." ”
Li Chaohe covered his face painfully when he heard this: "At the beginning, I said that the moral education character is not calm, and it is difficult to take on the big responsibility, for this reason, I once personally found the county honor, and the county respected that the family can use it at ease, but how could I have thought that there would be today's disaster, it really hurts me, my son!" ”
"Shut up."
Hearing Li Chaohe's cry, Li Jinli on the side shouted angrily, so frightened that Li Chaohe hurriedly silenced, Li Jinli said at this time: "Your own son made such a big mistake, how can you blame the county zun, the old man is clear about what happened at the beginning, do you think that your son is difficult to get on the throne to find the county zun?" ”
"You don't look down on the director of the Shandong City Division, think that it is a rootless position, not much power, you are looking for the county to let your son be reappointed as the mayor of Qingshui County, after being rejected by the county respect, you still have a lot of complaints, do you know nothing when I do? Now that your son has made a big mistake, and you have come up to complain about the county, you ask yourself, have you fulfilled the responsibilities of a father? ”
Li Jinli looked at Li Chaohe and shouted angrily, Li Chaohe couldn't say a word by Li Jinli, and said for a long time: "Uncle, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?" You are the oldest person in our clan, or the uncle of the county, if you say a word, the county will definitely listen to you, uncle, or you go to persuade the county, ask him to be extralegal, we don't want this official, just let him go home and farm with me, can't I farm with me? ”
Li Jinli was furious when he heard this, patted the armrest of the stool and shouted angrily: "Bastard, what are you talking about, other people's children must be punished if they make mistakes, in order to set an example, if the children of our old Li family make mistakes, just lose an official, if we really do this, what will become of our old Li family, what will become of the emperor's relatives, what will become of the county, and the dog emperor who has no king's law?" ”
"Let me tell you Li Chaohe, you are my nephew, if you are not my nephew, I will ignore you, moral education is twenty-eight years old this year, he is not a child, he has to be responsible for what he does, he is corrupt and perverts the law, and violates the law of Lantian, he will be punished, and it is not easy for anyone to intercede, I said this."
Li Jinli shouted angrily, and Li Chaohe's face turned pale and said, "Uncle, he is your own nephew!" ”
"He is my father, he should be killed today!"
Li Jinli said categorically, Li Chaohe's face was full of pain when he heard this, Li Jinli looked at Li Chaohe and said: "Chaohe, you are what I grew up watching, I can tell you if I can tell you, we have suppressed the fate of the whole clan in this Lantian, the rise and fall of Lantian represents the rise and fall of our whole clan, and the county is the hope of our whole clan, I can't not support him." ”
"If I come forward in this matter of moral education today, don't say that I have such a big face, even if the county really sells me such a big face, then I don't dare to ask for it, and the whole Li family doesn't dare to ask for it, if we really want this privilege today, then tomorrow our Li family will become the public enemy of the people of Lantian County, and we will be automatically divided into the ruling class, just like the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, we will become the object of the people's secret scolding, which will separate us from the big guys, and will make the old Li family irreversible."
"Today, only by letting moral education get the punishment he deserves, can we explain to the people of Lantian and tell them that the old Li family has never asked for privileges, and our people have committed crimes, and they will also be beheaded, so as to play a greater warning role for the people and officials of Lantian, Chaohe, whether you are sad, sad, or difficult to accept, you have to accept it, and fortunately, you don't have only one son, Decai, Debang and both have grown up, especially Decai, it is said that he will graduate next year, after graduation, I personally went to the county zun and asked him to recruit the virtue and talent into the secretary and supervisor, and follow the county zun to learn his skills and seek a good future, what do you think? ”
Li Chaohe looked up at Li Jinli when he heard this, wiped his tears and said: "I understand this truth, uncle, but in my heart, hey, I won't say much, it's all up to the uncle." ”
Li Chaohe wiped his tears and said, Li Jinli sighed and said: "This is the life of moral education, we can't forcibly intervene, that's it, that's it." ”
After saying this, Li Chaohe wiped his tears, and Li Jinli said: "The matter of moral education must be taken as a warning, go back to virtue and talent, and the two of Debang must be educated well, don't learn from his eldest brother, relying on the fact that he is a member of the Li family and do mischief." ”
"Yes, I know, when I go back, I will definitely educate these two stinky boys."
Li Chaohe said, Li Jinli nodded and said: "That's good, this incident actually sounded the alarm for us, don't think that everything will be fine if we are members of the Li family, let alone think that we are members of the Li family, so we can not abide by the laws of Lantian, it is precisely because we are members of the Li family that we should set an example and tell everyone that the old Li family is not based on nepotism, we all rely on real talent to learn, the old Li family is the county respect, and the old Li family is not helping, what do you let outsiders think." ”
Li Jinli said, Li Chaohe and Li Chaolong nodded in unison, agreeing with what Li Jinli said.
At this time, in the crowd, there was a phalanx that was particularly eye-catching, that is, a group of students wearing the uniforms of Lantian College, this group of students stood straight one by one, looking at the criminals kneeling on the stage, silent, most of them were students from Lantian University of Political Science and Law and the School of Finance and Economics, these two departments are the easiest to contact corrupt elements.
You must know that among the corrupt elements kneeling on this stage, two of them are economic crimes, and one is the sales director of the Lantian Steel Plant, who used his power to sell the high-quality steel products of the Lantian Steel Plant to businessmen at a low price, and earned a large amount of kickbacks.
The other is the director of Lantian Pharmaceutical Procurement, this kid is shoddy, and sells inferior drugs to the hospital as good drugs, which leads to several medical accidents in the hospital, which is a big deal, and finally Li Chaosheng directly sentenced him to death, and these two people were trained by Lantian School of Economics, so the School of Economics was directly pulled over this observation and beheading.
The two phalanxes stood straight, not far away were the criminals kneeling in a row, the students in the audience looked at the kneeling seniors, all were silent, many of these seniors they all knew, and even had communicated together, Lantian Academy will organize a new and old exchange meeting every year, some old seniors will be invited back to make a report, it is obvious that among these criminals, there have been people who have come back as excellent representatives to give lectures.
And today they also set an example, but this time they are setting an example with their lives.
Looking at the many outstanding students of Lantian College on the stage, some of the old professors of the college were heartbroken, once upon a time, they were still the pride of these old professors in the audience, but now they have become a shame that they can never accept.
"You should take this as a warning, don't repeat their mistakes, it's a pity, they are all talents from Lantian."
This is the sentence that the old professors say the most, and the students can't help but whisper when they look at the many seniors on the stage, and most of them are saying, "How can the seniors do such a thing!" ”
In the crowd, there were two people wearing Lantian school uniforms who looked out of place, and the two looked at the criminals on the stage at this time, and one said: "Brother Zhongqing, what do you think of Lantian's purge activity?" ”
That's right, these two are Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, who were studying in the Department of Political Science and Law of Lantian University at this time, so they also came to the execution ground together.
Gu Yanwu looked at these Lantian officials kneeling in the field and said: "This time Lantian is really moving, this time even the Li family's clansmen have been arrested, ready to kill chickens and monkeys, it seems that our county lord wants to take advantage of this last game to eliminate these unstable elements in Lantian and give Lantian a clean political environment, I have to say that from this aspect, Li Chaosheng really has a bit of foresight." ”
Huang Zongxi listened to Gu Yanwu's words and bowed his head lightly: "What you said is right, Li Chaosheng chose this time to engage in this anti-corruption struggle in Lantian, I have to say that he moved his mind, and now there is almost no external pressure on the entire Lantian, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars, or the Liukou are all too busy to take care of themselves, Lantian is now in some internal turmoil, and it has no impact on the entire situation, if Lantian is preparing to conquer the Ming Dynasty, or after reunification, he is carrying out an anti-corruption operation of this scale, even if it is a catastrophe." ”
Gu Yanwu nodded and said: "So, Li Chaosheng is a smart ruler, when the Ming Dynasty was busy taking care of himself and the Tartars were busy licking their wounds, he began to carry out internal optimization, and when the big guys were ready to compete for the world in the future, the corruption problem within others had not been solved, and Lantian had completed self-optimization, so the gap would become wider and wider, and he would be the only one in the world in the future. ”
Huang Zongxi said: "Not only that, in fact, what I see in Li Chaosheng is benevolence, is foresight, with the current foundation of Lantian, whether it is economic, political, military development, have crushed the contemporary, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or the Liukou can not form a substantial threat to Lantian, with the development of Lantian, even if it continues to develop like this, the future of the world is his, even if it is not anti-corruption, Lantian will not lose the world, the people's heart has always been in Lantian, the people's heart is not lost, Lantian can not have too many changes." ”
"But Li Chaosheng has decided to fight corruption now, we can actually see Li Chaosheng's goodwill, and then when Lantian expands rapidly, there will be countless temptations to tempt Lantian officials, if Li Chaosheng doesn't ring the alarm now, and when the reunification is completed, there will be many more moths inside Lantian than now, and with Li Chaosheng's thunderous wrist, he will not spare this group of corrupt elements, then he will kill more people in the future."
"Now Li Chaosheng has put anti-corruption on the agenda, that is, to give those who have already moved their minds, but have not yet done it, a chance to reform themselves, let them stop now, and take it as a warning in the future, so that after Lantian completes reunification, there will be very few people to kill, it can be said that Li Chaosheng gave Lantian these officials a chance to live."
Gu Yanwu heard this: "Since ancient times, the founding of the country has to kill the heroes, people say that the emperor is brutal, in fact, if you look closely, many of them are made by these founding heroes, when Taizu founded the country, Huaixi Xungui relied on his own founding merits, misconducted, corrupted the law, and did all kinds of evil, and finally forced Taizu to kill, almost slaughtered the original Huaixi Xungui. ”
"If Taizu was like Li Chaosheng at the beginning, often beating his subordinates, and even killing a group before the founding of the country, I can't say that there will be no such tragedies in the future."
Gu Yanwu said with emotion, hearing this, Huang Zongxi said: "Yes, in the past six months, I have really learned a lot in the academy, and my cognition of Lantian has also reached a higher level, I have to say that the deeper I understand Lantian, the more I feel that Li Chaosheng is not an ordinary person." ”
Gu Yanwu laughed when he heard this: "Naturally, if he were an ordinary person, he would not be able to do the great foundation of Lantian, I have already said that Li Chaosheng is a man through the ages, if it really happens, it is impossible to say that future generations will give him a higher evaluation in the future, such as Renjun Shengjun or something, hahaha......"
Huang Zongxi said: "Then you really underestimate Li Chaosheng, if Li Chaosheng's political thoughts are really as the academy says, the future generations will call him more likely to be the first emperor of the ages!" ”
"The First Emperor of the Ages!"
Gu Yanwu was taken aback, and then said with relief: "I don't know!" ”
