Chapter 247: Let's Look at His Talents
The widow is sick, and the widow is lustful.
Xiao Gao Wang doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, as a modern person, there is no mobile phone, no computer, lack of entertainment materials in this era, if even women can't arouse their interest, then there is no human appearance at all, it is really extraordinary.
But Gao Cheng didn't know what kind of misunderstanding it was, so he asked the Cui family to ask Lu Yuanming, who was a regular attendant and a prisoner, to pass on a message for them, and was willing to sacrifice Cui Niang in exchange for his acquittal of Cui Ling and his wife.
Since Choi was imprisoned, more and more details have been leaked, and everyone knows that the cause of the whole thing is retaliation from Choi Siam.
The reason why Lu Yuanming waded into this troubled water, in the final analysis, was only because he and Cui Ning laughed at the Li family of Zhaojun and the Cui family of Boling, and wanted to take the opportunity of being a matchmaker to show favor to Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng's face was uncertain, which also made Lu Yuanming uneasy.
"You go back and tell the Cui family, my Gao Zihui's appearance and power are all the crown of the moment, if there is something good, he will come to the door to ask for marriage, why should he coerce him to marry and do such a despicable act."
Even if it is Yuan Jingyi, King Xiao Gao has never coerced Cui Kuo, he is lustful and lustful, but he also has his own pride and bottom line.
Lu Yuanming hurriedly confessed and retreated, but the matchmaker didn't take it seriously, but was contaminated.
When everyone in the Cui family learned of Gao Cheng's attitude, the Feng family was already desperate, but Cui Niang was in a complicated mood, as Gao Cheng said, he was the best choice regardless of appearance and power, and now her words made her feel that the other party was acting uprightly and should be a lifelong lover.
However, what no one expected was that the turnaround would come soon.
It was not Cui Niang's appearance that saved Cui Ning's life, but Gao Cheng heard that Cui Zhen was visiting various places to observe the people's suffering, hoping to try to present a strategy to strengthen the country and enrich the people in Beijing. (See Chapter 245)
Cui Xian and Cui Ning were not their own personal enmity, but Cui Ning insulted the Boling Cui clan, so King Xiao Gao summoned all the three Cui of Boling.
Gao Cheng informed Cui Zhen of his travels and said bluntly:
"Today, there is Yuwentai who is fierce in Kansai, and Xiao Yan is partial to Anjiangzuo, although Kanto is strong, after all, the great cause has not been accomplished, and Yu thinks that he should be eclectic and talented.
"Cui Zhen has the ambition to serve the country, and he should not cut off his path because of his father, I will, Cui Yong will be imprisoned, I am not in a hurry to convict, and it seems that the year will be tested in Beijing.
"If Cui Ganzhi is really a national soldier, and Cui Gengzhi is ordered to be a scholar, not to be added to the crime, if Cui Ganzhi is talented and sparse, that is, he will be dealt with according to the law, what do you think?"
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, since the Empress Dowager Feng issued the official Yulu, Emperor Xiaowen made a punishment for the corrupt that 'the one who is full of stolen goods will die', that is, if he embezzles the value of a piece of cloth, he will be punished with death, and now the market price of a piece of cloth is only 300 yuan.
This is a draconian measure, but it is not feasible at all.
It is really necessary to strictly implement the stipulation that 'those who are full of stolen horses will die', except for a few honest people such as Du Bi and Zhang Yao, one is counted as one, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely die eight or nine times out of ten.
Since the promulgation of this regulation by Emperor Xiaowen, it has been basically superficial, and it has also led to the inability to truly punish corrupt people according to the law.
Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai reformed the law and changed the system, both of which set the amount of capital crimes at 30 pieces of cloth and less than 30 horses, and according to the amount of bribes, in addition to dismissal, there were whips, rods, imprisonment, and streams, and four punishments.
In fact, even if Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai increase the amount of stolen goods to 30 horses, for most corrupt officials, once it is verified, it is still a capital crime.
After all, the amount of thirty pieces of cloth is not much, when Emperor Wei Ming, there were 500 people in Qinghe County who went west, and wanted to return to their hometown through Zhao County, because of the bandits, the road was cut off, so they gathered a thousand pieces of cloth to ask Li Yuanzhong for help.
And Cui Ning's stolen money is naturally not more than thirty horses, Gao Cheng's meaning is very clear, whether Cui Ning is alive or dead, it all depends on whether his son Cui Zhen is really beneficial to the country and the people.
If Cui Zhen is angry, Gao Cheng can only order Cui Zhen to go to his post and return to his hometown for retirement, and Cui Zhen will not have no way to serve the country because he is the son of a criminal official and cannot be an official for three generations.
But if Cui Zhen can't come up with a strategy that satisfies him, Cui Geng will be punished with death according to the "Taichang Law".
Cui Xian, Cui Ang, and Cui Jishu have no objection to this, in the final analysis, among the Xindu Yuan, there are many people who are much more greedy than Cui Ning, and there is really no room for sand in their eyes, and the first person to kill is Chen Yuankang.
And the reason why Cui Ning is the only one to rectify is that he is open-mouthed, because of the sentence 'Huang Jaw Xiaoer can also afford to take on heavy responsibilities?' It angered Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng is willing to give Cui Zhen a chance to remedy it, and come up with feasible strategies for the benefit of the country and the people to save his family, Cui Xian and the others can't say a word, after all, in the end, the whole thing, Xiao Gao Wang himself is the real sufferer.
Regarding the gains and losses of this matter, Gao Cheng has his own plans in his heart, killing one less person, in exchange for a feasible strategy to strengthen the country and enrich the people, no matter what, it is to earn.
As for the destruction of the system, if it is not convicted, it will not destroy the system of thirty horses, and now the Eastern Wei Dynasty is full of more than thirty horses, and there are countless people who have not been convicted, and there is no shortage of Cui Ning.
In the final analysis, leaving behind the useful and eliminating the incompetent is the anti-corruption attitude that should be upheld in this era.
Gao Cheng's attitude was quickly passed on to the Cui family, and they also hurriedly wrote a letter, asking Cui Gan Mo to return to Beijing and prepare for the Beijing test in the coming year, which was the way to save his father.
Xing Shao asked for his resignation as the assassin of Yanzhou, and the resignation was quickly agreed, and Gao Cheng didn't even bother to do it.
Cui Ning is just corrupt, but Xing Shao is deceiving, even if Xing Shao is capable, Gao Cheng will not be able to set this precedent for him.
When Xing Shao left Luoyang, only Cui Xian saw him off, and the warmth and coldness of the people were undoubted.
But he couldn't complain about others, even Cui Xian's closeness persuaded him, bluntly saying that Xing Shao was disloyal and unjust, and he deserved this fate, but Cui Xian insisted on sending him off.
"When I wrote a letter to invite my son to enter Luo, Siam never thought that there would be today's thing, I hurt you."
Cui Xian felt quite remorseful, if the two were not close friends, Xing Shao would not be one of the three recommended by Cui Xianam, now Wen Zisheng and Cui Ang are in high positions, and Xing Shao is ruined, Cui Xian is inevitably melancholy.
"Shao is to blame, and what does he have to do with Ji Lun."
Xing Shao smiled bitterly, at the age of forty-two, he originally had green hair, but now he has gray temples and shows his old age.
"What are Zicai's plans for the future?"
Cui Xian asked.
Xing Shao turned his head and glanced at Luoyang City behind him, and then looked to the east, pretending to be free and easy:
"Indulge in the landscape and talk about life."
But Cui Xian knew that he was sad in his heart, and hiding in the mountains and forests was something that would only be done when the world was dark.
But now Kanto is thriving under Gao Cheng's governance, in such a world, a talent is going to be buried, only leaving infamy in the historical books, who can really be free.
Eat first, then move on.
Thank you for the reward of the book friend Blue Night
