Seeing that Su Yuzhe's attitude was so kind, Lu Ye thought that he was deeply appreciated and had a bright future, and said energetically, "This goes without saying, spend money to buy it!" As long as you are willing to spend money, how big an official do you want to be, isn't it my uncle's words? Most of my hard-earned income over the years has been filial to my uncle, and the rest is to buy a house, land and a wife. My uncle said that as long as he serves His Majesty for one day, the officials will have to listen to him! ”

Su Yuzhe looked at the fat-headed and big-eared Lu Ye, and he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, let me tell you, what gentleman is to beasts, see their life, and can't bear to see their death; Hearing its voice, he couldn't bear to eat his meat, and he was a gentleman who was far away from cooking. That's a fart! The people take food as the sky, they are really hungry, what kind of gentleman has become a beast, not to mention killing chickens and sheep, that is, killing children to eat, they have also done it! ”

Lu Ye was eager to seek merit, took a step closer to dig out his heart and lungs, and added at the end, "The lower officials know that they are hungry and anxious to change their children to eat." After careful consideration, the lower officials found that what the sages said was not necessarily right. Your Majesty, do you think this is the reason? Isn't Xia Guan very smart? ”

Lu Dongchen, who was standing on the side, stroked his forehead and smiled.

Su Yuzhe opened his mouth, he never thought that there would be such a cold-blooded, cruel, and ignorant magistrate in his Great Zhou.

"Hehe, those homeless people who were lucky not to starve to death and don't want to eat people, honestly queue up every day under the supervision of officers and soldiers, waiting to receive a limited supply of vegetable soup or gruel, these people are more interesting."

When Lu Ye said this, he covered his mouth and smiled for a long time before continuing.

They waited quietly in the procession, their eyes like wooden men. They had no idea if there would be gruel in vegetable soup when it was their turn. Sometimes I make the soup gruel more and sometimes less. I just watched from the sidelines, and they didn't care whether the soup or gruel was too much or less, and they all waited stupidly until the end. In the middle of the day, someone suddenly falls, tilts his head and dies, and the rest continue to wait as if they didn't see it......"

Su Yuzhe couldn't listen to it anymore, his eyes were hot, and his heart was overturned.

He blamed himself.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears and seen it with his own eyes, he would still think that he had governed the country well and the world was peaceful.

The scene described by Lu Ye was vividly reproduced in his mind, and he could easily think of the despair filled with those people who were waiting for the poor bowl of vegetable soup and gruel to save their lives, and saw that people kept falling to the ground and dying.

In troubled times, the miserable fate is not as good as the dogs and horses of the prosperous era.

But his Great Zhou is by no means a dynasty in troubled times, how could such a horrific human tragedy happen?

Su Yuzhe's heart was like a twist, his heart was like numbness, he closed his eyes and waved his hand, "Drag it out, cut it!" ”

The guards stepped forward and escorted Lu Ye and dragged Lu Ye out.

Lu Yemeng was stunned, and when he found out that Su Yuzhen was not joking with him, he really wanted to kill his head, crying father and calling his mother uncle.

A moment later, Lu Ye's crying came to an abrupt end, as if his ugly and sinful life had come to an end.

Lu Dongchen looked at Su Yuzhen cautiously, he stood with his hands in his hands, his face was sad, and he said in a heavy tone, "Kill Lu Chen's staff!" ”

Lu Dongchen ordered to leave.

Su Yuzhen pinched his eyebrows, got up and walked back to the dormitory slowly, his mood was indescribably heavy.

The Holy Lotus boy observed the words and looks, and followed back silently all the way.

Seeing that Su Yuzhe was still frowning when he saw Yunhuang, the Holy Lotus Boy knew that it was not suitable to joke at this time.

He hid by the door and stretched out his head, grimaced at Yun Huang, pointed at Su Yuzhe, turned around and walked lightly.

He decided to meet that He Mei.

Dare to pretend to be his imperial aunt, do you live impatiently?

Yun Huang was just flipping through a book of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and saw that Su Yuzhe's face was wrong, and saw that the Holy Lotus Boy meant something, so he entered the book and looked at Su Yuzhe with concern, "Usually you lift heavy weights, what makes you so troubled today?" ”

Su Yuzhe sat down next to her, rested his chin on her shoulder, and sighed, "More than 300,000 fresh lives, tormented by hunger, humiliation and despair, and finally died in pain and desolation, not because of war, not because of disease, but because of the greed and malice of the magistrates...... There will be mediocre and corrupt officials like Lu Ye in the Great Zhou, and I, as the king of a country, cannot escape the blame! ”

Although he didn't know the ins and outs, Yun Huang also guessed a rough idea, and seeing that he looked depressed, he didn't immediately persuade him.

Su Yuzhe said, "In his position, he is the emperor, first of all, he should purge the dynasty and punish the treacherous and evil spirits, so as to protect the peace of the country and the people, I have not done enough." Especially recently, he has been going back and forth between the Great Zhou and the Great Chen, neglecting the government and politics, so that Lu Ye and his ilk are corrupt and pervert the law, and if they are angry, people will be resentful...... Didn't take care of you either, Yunhuang, am I useless? ”

Yun Huang felt a pain in his heart, "No, Yu Zhe, you are the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, but since you ascended the throne, you have been busy with all kinds of trivial matters, and you have not taken the time and energy to rectify the official system and reform the old and make the new." It's not just Da Zhou, it's Da Chen......"

"You're right, and you're doing better than I do. When your new monarch was first established, let Du Mingyue and Tang Di be meritocracy, meritocracy, and re-select all officials at all levels and appoint them on the basis of merit. My side is not as good as it should be. In the past, Zhen Hong, Liu Delin, and Zhou Daomei conspired to usurp the throne, and then Cao Zhizhang, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, secretly conspired with Han Bing, a rebel minister of Western Chu, to rob the prison, and now there are Lu Chen's selling of official positions and Lu Ye corruption...... Yunhuang, I have taught you many times before, but it turns out that you are more prescient than me. ”

Su Yuzhen was depressed in his chest, and his tone was heavy.

Yun Huang stroked his back and said distressedly, "The imperial power should be brainstormed in hand, if everything is self-decided, it will be difficult to work hard." Don't blame yourself for everything, with the size of the world, the people of the four seas, and thousands of threads, it is rare for one person to think about it thoroughly. Da Chen is because there are loyal and upright people like Du Mingyue and Tang Di, and you also have Song Zhiming, Zhou Ziheng and other resourceful courtiers on your side, and after we get married, you let them help you choose some people who have both ability and political integrity, shrewd and capable to serve as local officials at all levels. ”

Su Yuzhen nodded, "Yes." Although the official position of local officials is not high, they directly rule over the people in various places, and their virtues are good and bad, which has a direct bearing on the security and chaos of a country. ”

"Exactly. If we want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, the selection and appointment of the assassins, the Taishou, and the county orders in various places are particularly important. Well, you're tired these days, don't get angry, know what the problem is, and find a way to solve it. ”

Yun Huang stroked Su Yuzhe's frowning brow distressedly.

Su Yuzhe closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of this moment, and his chaotic mind gradually calmed down.

"Well, you're right. Yunhuang, I really like to talk to you, I can say anything, my heart is clear, transparent and warm. A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yuzhe's lips, "I can be regarded as starting a family first and then starting a business." ”
